The present disclosure generally relates to a lubricating oil composition for improving corrosion resistance and maintaining TBN in an internal combustion engine.

A method for improving wear protection, while maintaining or improving deposit control and cleanliness, in an engine or other mechanical component lubricated with a 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 one or more lubricating oil additives including at least one borated detergent, as a minor component. The at least one borated detergent comprises a borated alkaline earth metal sulfonate. The borated alkaline earth metal sulfonate is present in an amount sufficient to provide a total boron concentration of about 300 parts per million or greater in the formulated oil. Wear protection is improved, and deposit control and cleanliness are maintained or improved, as compared to wear protection, deposit control and cleanliness achieved using a lubricating oil containing a borated additive other than the at least one borated alkaline earth metal sulfonate.
