A lubricant contains alcohol initiated propylene oxide homopolymer, an oil soluble polyalkylene glycol other than the alcohol initiated propylene oxide homopolymer, and a calcium salt of dinonylnaphthalene sulphonate where the lubricant is further characterized by containing less than ten weight-percent of polyol esters based on total lubricant weight is useful as a lubricant for compressors.

The invention provides a lubricant composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity and 0.01 wt % to 15 wt % of a (thio)phosphoric acid salt of an N-hydrocarbyl-substituted gamma-(-) or delta-amino(thio)ester. The invention further relates to a method of lubricating a mechanical device with the lubricant composition.

The invention relates to a piston-cylinder unit (100) comprising a cylinder (110) filled with a fluid (150), a piston (120) slidably guided in the cylinder (110), a piston rod (130) attached to the piston (120), a seal (140), and a lubricant in contact with the seal (140) and with the cylinder (110), the piston (120) and/or the piston rod (130). The lubricant is a polyalphaolefin oil or a polyalkylene glycol oil. The seal (140) is made of chlorine-free acrylonitrile butadiene rubber. The invention also relates to a method for producing the piston-cylinder unit (100).
