A lubricating oil including a lubricating oil base stock as a major component, and one or more lubricating oil additives having at least one protected active group, as a minor component. The one or more lubricating oil additives having at least one protected active group are converted into one or more lubricating oil additives having at least one unprotected active group in the lubricating oil in-service in an engine or other mechanical component. Compositions including one or more lubricating oil additives having at least one protected active group. A method for improving solubility of one or more lubricating oil additives in a lubricating oil. A method for improving oxidative stability of a lubricating oil and extending performance life of one or more lubricating oil additives. A method for improving friction control in an engine or other mechanical component lubricated with a lubricating oil.

To provide a lubricating oil composition that has good detergency irrespective of the small sulfated ash content thereof, and has a good friction reducing capability even after the deterioration thereof. The lubricating oil composition contains a base oil (A), a non-metal-containing sulfur antioxidant (B), and a hindered amine antioxidant (C) having one piperidine-derived skeleton in a molecule, and has a content of the non-metal-containing sulfur antioxidant (B) as converted in terms of sulfur atom of 800 ppm by mass or more based on the total amount of the lubricating oil composition, a content of the hindered amine antioxidant (C) as converted in terms of nitrogen atom of 100 ppm by mass or more and 400 ppm by mass or less based on the total amount of the lubricating oil composition, a sulfated ash content of 0.70% by mass or less, and a total base number of 4.0 mgKOH/g or more.

A gun oil composition adapted specifically for the needs and requirements of modern firearms. The gun oil composition improves lubricity and gun performance under normal and extreme heat and pressure, minimizes and largely prevents the build-up of carbon and debris fouling on metal and non-metal components of the firearm, and substantially reduces cleaning time, while providing increased protection against environmental components such as dust, dirt and rust. The gun oil composition can include a base oil having at least a high viscosity index, an oil having at least a medium viscosity index with a detergent additive, a low viscosity penetrating oil, and a sulfurized ester.

The present disclosure generally relates to a lubricating oil composition having a sulfur content of up to 0.4 wt. % and a sulfated ash content of up to 0.6 wt. %, as determined by ASTM D874, comprising: a major amount of base oil; at least 0.02 wt. % of triazole compound; less than about 1.3 wt. % of a diphenylamine antioxidant; and at least 900 ppm of molybdenum from a molybdenum containing compound; wherein the lubricating oil composition is essentially free of ZnDTP. Also provided are methods for reducing wear and copper corrosion in an engine which is equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or a gasoline particulate filter (GPF) after treatment device system.

An internal combustion engine lubricating oil composition containing a base oil that is a hydrocarbon oil containing less than 1% by mass of aromatic components and having a sulphur content of less than 20 ppm by mass; a specific organic molybdenum compound as a component (A) at 300 to 1500 ppm by mass as molybdenum atoms; and a borate ester compound as a component (B) at 100 to 1000 ppm by mass as boron atoms.
