A method for producing a deposit resistant fluid includes combining a base stock and one or more additives to form a blended fluid configured to maintain fluidity in a low temperature environment and to resist forming deposits in an oxidizing environment. The base stock has a viscosity index of at least 80, and either a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of at least 320 cSt or a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of at least 14 cSt. The base stock includes greater than or equal to about 90 wt % saturates, less than or equal to about 10 wt % aromatics, and a sum of terminal/pendant propyl groups and terminal/pendant ethyl groups of at least 1.7 per 100 carbon atoms.

Lubricating oil compositions are disclosed. The lubricating oil compositions include one or more base oils (A) containing one or more polyalphaolefin (PAO) base oils derived at least in part from a C.sub.12 olefin. The lubricating oil compositions further include from about 65 wt. % to about 85 wt. %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition, of one or more base oils (B) having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of from about 3.0 cSt to about 5.5 cSt; and from about 0.1 wt. % to about 10 wt. %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition, of a succinimide dispersant.

The present invention relates to lubricating compositions and particularly gear oil compositions that include a specific class of substituted triazoles, where the substituted triazole includes at least one hydrocarbyl group linked to one of the nitrogen atoms in the triazole ring. Such compositions provide surprisingly good seal compatibility compared to compositions with other triazoles and/or alternative additives.
