The present disclosure generally relates to a lubricating oil composition having a sulfur content of up to 0.4 wt. % and a sulfated ash content of up to 0.6 wt. %, as determined by ASTM D874, comprising: a major amount of base oil; at least 0.02 wt. % of triazole compound; less than about 1.3 wt. % of a diphenylamine antioxidant; and at least 900 ppm of molybdenum from a molybdenum containing compound; wherein the lubricating oil composition is essentially free of ZnDTP. Also provided are methods for reducing wear and copper corrosion in an engine which is equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or a gasoline particulate filter (GPF) after treatment device system.

The invention relates to an anti-friction lacquer having a polymer as a resin matrix and functional fillers, the functional fillers containing mixed-phase oxides and optionally further functional fillers. The invention further relates to a sliding element having a metallic substrate layer and a coating which is applied thereon and made of at least such an anti-friction lacquer and to a method for the production thereof.

This disclosure provides a method for improving high temperature antifoaming performance of a lubricating oil in an engine or other mechanical component lubricated with the lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil. The formulated oil has a composition with a lubricating oil base stock as a major component, and at least one silicone antifoaming agent, as a minor component. The silicone antifoaming agent is delivered to the lubricating oil by contacting the lubricating oil with a cured silicone (e.g., room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone) at a temperature, and for a period of time, sufficient to deliver silicone to the lubricating oil. The delivered silicone is soluble in the lubricating oil. The lubricating oils are useful as passenger vehicle engine oils (PVEO) and commercial vehicle engine oils (CVEO).

Medical articles formed from a polyurethane-based resin including a modifying oligomer provide enhanced properties. A modifying oligomer incorporated into a backbone, as a side chain, or both of the polyurethane-based resin formed by a diisocyanate, a polyglycol, and a diol chain extender has at least one, preferably two, alcohol moieties (COH) and a functional moiety. Exemplary modifying oligomers are: a diol-containing perfluoropolyether incorporated into the backbone, a monofunctional polysiloxane (e.g., monodialcohol-terminated polydimethylsiloxane) incorporated as the side chain, and combinations thereof. Medical articles herein are self-lubricating and/or anti-fouling.
