A lubricating oil composition containing a lubricating base oil (A), a neutral phosphorus-based compound (B), an acidic phosphorus-based compound (C), a sulfur-based compound (D) and an organic molybdenum compound (E).

Disclosed herein are improved lubricating compositions effective to prevent or reduce low speed pre-ignition in an engine, as well as to prevent or reduce corrosion of engine components. The lubricating compositions include a base oil combined with a calcium chelate complex, optionally in further combination with additional additives.

Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines require gasoline particulate filters (GPFs) as a key component of the emissions control system to reduce particulate emissions. GPFs are known to have poor initial performance, with performance increasing after the filter develops a cake. This poor initial performance make it impossible to accurately assess vehicle emissions performance at the mileage requirements for vehicle certification. Compositions and methods are disclosed to improve filtration efficiency in a fresh or low mileage GPF.

An additive composition for a hydraulic fluid, or a heat transfer fluid, comprises one or more phosphate esters derived from the esterification of phosphoric acid and one or more monomer glycols containing up to 18 carbon atoms, or combinations thereof. In addition, the additive composition may comprise one or more corrosion inhibitors selected from the group consisting of dicarboxylic acids, alkanolamines or combinations thereof; one or more antioxidants including selected from the group consisting of one or more organosulfur compounds, one or inorganic oxyanion salts or combinations thereof; and, one or more surfactants.

A lubricating oil composition which contains, or is made by admixing: (A) an oil of lubricating viscosity, in a major amount; (B) at least one oil-soluble or oil-dispersible sulfurized fatty acid ester, as an additive in an amount providing the lubricating oil composition with greater than or equal to 0.02 mass % sulphur; and, (C) at least one oil-soluble or oil-dispersible alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salicylate detergent, as an additive in an effective minor amount, providing greater than or equal to 5 mmol of salicylate soap per kilogram of the lubricating oil composition,
wherein the lubricating oil composition does not contain a phosphorus ester additive.

A method for lubricating an internal combustion engine, the method including: supplying a lubricating oil composition to a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, wherein the internal combustion engine has a mean effective pressure of no less than 1.3 MPa, wherein an integrated intensity ratio of peaks of CaO in a X-ray diffraction spectrum of an ash is no more than 16.5%, the ash being obtained by incinerating the lubricating oil composition in an air at 950° C.

An additive composition for a hydraulic fluid, or a heat transfer fluid, comprises one or more phosphate esters derived from the esterification of phosphoric acid and one or more monomer glycols containing up to 18 carbon atoms, or combinations thereof. In addition, the additive composition may comprise one or more corrosion inhibitors selected from the group consisting of dicarboxylic acids, alkanolamines or combinations thereof; one or more antioxidants including selected from the group consisting of one or more organosulfur compounds, one or inorganic oxyanion salts or combinations thereof; and, one or more surfactants.

Provided herein are lubricant compositions and methods of using the same. These lubricant compositions are useful for providing improved anti-friction and anti-wear properties.

The use, as markers of petroleum products, crude oils, biofuels or lubricants, of rare earth complexes or one of the constituents thereof chosen from rare earth ligands or salts, being capable of forming a rare earth complex after the addition of a developing solution. Preferably, the rare earth complex can be detected by time-resolved fluorescence. Also, a marking method and a method for detecting a rare earth complex as a marker of petroleum products, crude oils, biofuels or lubricants.

A lubricant composition includes: an oil selected from among polyalkylene glycols (PAG); and a nitrogen compound selected from among amine phosphates or amine tungstates. The lubricant composition is particularly suitable for lubricating a vehicle engine, preferably a motor vehicle engine. Also disclosed is an engine lubrication method utilizing such composition.
