The instant disclosure generally relates to lubricating compositions having an oil of lubricating viscosity, a mixture of boron-containing and boron-free dispersants, an overbased magnesium-based detergent, an overbased calcium-based detergent, a molybdenum-containing material, and, optionally, other performance additives. The instant lubricating compositions may improve one or more of cleanliness, TBN retention, fuel economy and low-speed preignition (“LSPI”).

A lubricant for marine engine, notably for a two-stroke marine engine. More particularly, a lubricant for a marine engine including at least one lubricant base oil and at least one di-alkylaminopolyalkylamine.

The present disclosure provides a method of treating a hydrocarbon-containing reservoir. The method involves introducing into the reservoir a surfactant composition. The surfactant composition includes an alpha olefin sulfonate or an isomerized olefin sulfonate. The alpha olefin sulfonate or the isomerized olefin sulfonate is synthesized by i) oligomerizing a monomer comprising a C.sub.3 to C.sub.6 mono-olefin to form an oligomerization product and ii) sulfonating the oligomerization product.

The present invention provides a lubricant composition comprising a base oil of lubricating viscosity, wherein the base oil comprises an ether base stock of formula (A), where: R.sub.a and R.sub.b are aliphatic hydrocarbyl groups and may be the same or different; the lubricant composition further comprising at least one aminic anti-oxidant and at least one phenolic anti-oxidant. In some embodiments, the ether base stock has the formula (1), where: R.sub.1 R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are as defined herein. The lubricant composition may be used for lubricating a surface in an internal combustion engine as well as for improving the fuel economy performance and/or piston cleanliness performance of an engine and/or a vehicle, such as an automotive vehicle associated with an internal combustion engine. ##STR00001##

A lubricating oil composition is provided which comprises (a) greater than 50 wt. % of a base oil of lubricating viscosity; and (b) 0.1 to 40 wt. % of an overbased alkaline earth metal alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic carboxylate having a TBN, on an actives basis, of at least 600 mg KOH/g, as determined by ASTM D 2896; wherein the lubricating oil composition is a monograde lubricating oil composition meeting specifications for SAE J300 revised January 2015 requirements for a SAE 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 monograde engine oil, and has a TBN of 5 to 200 mg KOH/g, as determined by ASTM D2896.

Alkyl salicylic acids, overbased detergents derived from alkyl salicylic acids, lubricating compositions including the alkyl salicylic acids and/or overbased detergents, and processes of making and using the same, are described.

The invention is directed to a method for reducing low speed pre-ignition events in a spark-ignited direct injection internal combustion engine by supplying to the sump a lubricant composition which contains an oil of lubricating viscosity and an ashless dispersant. The ashless dispersant may be selected from succinimide compounds prepared from aliphatic or aromatic amines.

The present disclosure describes lubricant compositions effective to minimize average engine sludge through selection of lubricant additives that control the total nitrogen as well as the origin of the nitrogen in the lubricant composition. In aspects, the lubricant compositions herein include at least a base oil of lubricating viscosity, a dispersant system, and at least one antioxidant.
