An additive composition contains a viscosity index improver and a pour point depressant. A process can be used for preparing the additive composition. The additive composition can be used as a lubricant additive in a lubricating oil formulation, and lubricating oil formulations can contain the additive composition.

A refrigeration machine oil composition may have good lubricating properties and sufficiently reduce friction even when a base oil containing a low-viscosity mineral oil is used and/or prevent seizure between sliding members. Such refrigeration machine oil compositions may contain a base oil containing a mineral oil, (A) at least one type selected from a specific neutral phosphate ester and an amine salt thereof, and (B) at least one type selected from a specific acidic phosphate ester, an acidic phosphite ester, and an amine salt thereof, and having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. in a range of from 1.0 to 6.0 mm.sup.2/s.

Provided is a grease composition for a ball joint that can reduce the wear of a ball seat at a slide region and also has excellent compatibility with a dust cover. The grease composition for a ball joint comprises a base oil, a thickener, and an additive. The base oil contains an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer and the kinetic viscosity of the base oil at 40° C. is 2,000 to 6,000 mm.sup.2/s. The additive contains a polar wax (e.g., monoamide wax or ester wax).

A composition is obtained by mixing at least one oligomer A1, which is obtained by copolymerizing at least two monomers functionalized by diol functions with at least one second monomer, with at least one compound A2 having at least two boron ester functions. The compositions exhibit very varied rheological properties depending on the proportion of the compounds A1 and A2 used. A composition is also obtained by mixing at least one lubricating oil with such a composition of associative and exchangeable polymers, and the use of this composition to lubricate a mechanical part.

Lubricating compositions containing a phosphorus-containing salt of an acylated ethylene-α-olefin polymer substituted with an aliphatic polyamine having at least one primary or secondary amine, the lubricating composition having a total phosphorus content in an amount of 200 ppm to 600 ppm by weight of the lubricating composition. The phosphorus-containing salt additive described herein can be used as an anti-wear agent in lubricating composition for diesel engines.
