The present invention relates to a lubricating composition for an engine, in particular for a motor vehicle engine, comprising at least one base oil and at least one compound able to release formaldehyde under the temperature and pressure conditions of the combustion chamber of the engine. It also relates to the use, in a lubricating composition intended for an engine, of a compound able to release formaldehyde under the temperature and pressure conditions of the combustion chamber of the engine, as an additive for preventing and/or reducing pre-ignition, in particular low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI).

The present invention relates to a lubricating composition containing (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; and (b) a compound selected from the group consisting of: (i) an ester-containing heterocycle; (ii) an amide-containing heterocycle; and (iii) a pyrimidine, wherein the ester-containing heterocycle and the amide-containing heterocycle have a hydrocarbyl group containing 6 to 40 carbon atoms. The invention further provides for a method of supplying an internal combustion engine with the lubricating composition.

This disclosure provides a method for improving or maintaining antioxidant performance of a lubricating oil in an engine or other mechanical component lubricated with the lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil. The formulated oil has a composition including a lubricating oil base stock as a major component, and at least one functionalized quercetin antioxidant, as a minor component. The at least one functionalized quercetin antioxidant is soluble in the lubricating oil. Antioxidant performance is improved or maintained as compared to antioxidant performance achieved using a lubricating oil containing a phenolic or aminic antioxidant, as determined by Lubricant Oxidation Test as described herein or Catalytic Oxidation Test as described herein. This disclosure also relates to lubricating oils having at least one functionalized quercetin antioxidant. The lubricating oils are useful as passenger vehicle engine oils (PVEO), commercial vehicle engine oils (CVEO), and other mechanical industrial applications.
