The disclosed technology relates to lubricants for compression ignition internal combustion engines, particularly those demonstrating at least one of improved seals performance, reduced deposit formation, and excellent durability. The present invention provides a low dispersant lubricating composition comprising (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity, (b) about 0.5 weight percent to 3.0 weight percent of an oxyalkylated hydrocarbyl-substituted phenol compound, (c) about 0.01 weight percent to 2.6 weight percent of a polyalkenylsuccinimide dispersant, and (d) about 0.05 weight percent to 2.0 weight percent of a polyolefin dispersant viscosity modifier, and wherein the lubricating composition contains zinc in an amount less than about 700 ppm by weight of the composition.

In an amorphous carbon film of a sliding member, provided that a number of nitrogen atoms each singly bonded to three carbon atoms is A, and a number of nitrogen atoms each singly and doubly bonded to two carbon atoms, respectively, is B, a value A/B of the amorphous carbon film obtained through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis is 10 to 18. The method includes irradiating the surface of the substrate with nitrogen ion beams and irradiating a carbon target with electron beams, thereby forming an amorphous carbon film on the surface of the substrate while vapor-depositing a part of the carbon target onto the surface of the substrate. The output of the electron beams that irradiate the carbon target is 30 to 50 W.
