This invention relates to the use of a metallic or non-metallic detergent which is a hydrocarbyl-substituted salicylic acid or a derivative thereof in a non-aqueous lubricant composition as an inhibitor of lead corrosion associated with ashless, organic ester, anti-wear additives and/or friction modifiers.

The present disclosure provides a detergent additives and methods for preparing a sulfurized alkyl phenate product to achieve a high sulfurization ratio and low levels of unsulfurized alkyl phenols.

The present invention relates to a lubricating composition comprising a detergent additive derived from raw cashew nut shell liquid. The invention also provides a process for preparing the additive and the use of the lubricating composition in a mechanical device.

This disclosure describes blends of detergent and antiwear lubricating additives and lubricants including such additive blends effective to reduce high-temperature deposits, and in particular, high-temperature deposits in low ash compositions.

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.
