A compressor including a housing, a shaft configured to be rotated relative to the housing to compress a refrigerant, a motor configured to drive the shaft, a lubrication system configured to supply lubricant to the compressor, and a bearing configured to support the shaft. The shaft includes a wear-resistant sleeve-like treatment on at least a portion of an outer surface of the shaft adjacent the bearing. The lubricant is a lubricant blend composition that includes two or more lubricants, the two or more lubricants including a first lubricant and a second lubricant. The first lubricant is present at a higher volume percentage than the second lubricant, and the first lubricant includes a higher viscosity than the second lubricant.

An oil composition comprising a first component having pendant groups and a second component but free of a third component and process for making such oil composition, where a single molecule of the third component can form large shearable stable complex structure with two molecules of the first component via van der Waals force between pendant groups and the terminal carbon chains, and a single molecule of the second component is capable of adjoining no more than one molecule of the first type. The oil composition has high shear stability making it suitable for use in lubricants subject to repeated high shear stress events.
