This invention relates to a lubricating oil composition comprising or resulting from the admixing of: (i) a base oil; (ii) one or more overbased metal based detergents; and (3) a friction modifier comprising glycerol monooleate, glycerol dioleate, glycerol trioleate or combinations thereof at from 0.2 to 1.0 wt. % of the composition. The composition has a total sulfated ash of less than or equal to 1.0 wt. %, a high temperature high shear viscosity at 150 C. (HTHS) as determined according to ASTM D4683-20 of greater than or equal to 1.8 mPa.Math.s and less than or equal to 2.9 mPa.Math.s, and a total phosphorous level of less than or equal to 0.080 wt. %. The inventive composition provides a 10% to 80% decrease in journal bearing wear as measured by wear scar volume in m.sup.3 using the MTM-R test method compared to a lubricating oil composition of comparable HTHS, but not including a friction modifier comprising glycerol monooleate, glycerol dioleate, glycerol trioleate or combinations thereof. Also provided are a method of decreasing journal bearing wear in an internal combustion engine and a method of making the lubricating oil composition.

Novel, lubricious coatings for medical devices are disclosed. The coatings provide improved lubricity and durability, and are readily applied in coating processes. The present invention is also directed to a novel platinum catalyst for use in such coatings. The catalyst provides for rapid curing, while inhibiting cross-linking at ambient temperatures, thereby improving the production pot life of the coatings.

The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, hydraulic fluids and additives for reducing the rate of surface current degradation for components in a hydraulic system, wherein the hydraulic system is exposed to phosphate-ester-based hydraulic fluid.
