Lubricant compositions comprising a base oil, one or more antioxidants selected from a group consisting of N--naphthyl-N-phenylamine antioxidants and diphenylamine antioxidants; and one or more sulfur-containing additives exhibit outstanding oxidative stability and non-corrosion properties. The N--naphthyl-N-phenylamine antioxidants plus diphenylamine antioxidants in total may be present from about 0.2 wt % to about 0.8 wt %, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition. The sulfur provided by the sulfur-containing additives, in total, may be present from about 50 ppm to about 1000 ppm by weight, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition.

This invention relates to malienated derivatives made from maleic anhydride, functionalized monomers, and one or more additional reagents, e.g., an oxygen-containing reagent (e.g., alcohol, polyol), a nitrogen-containing reagent (e.g., amine, polyamine, aminoalcohol), a metal and/or a metal compound. The invention relates to lubricants, functional fluids, fuels, dispersants, detergents and functional compositions (e.g., cleaning solutions, food compositions, etc.)

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.
