A transmission fluid composition contains a major amount of a lubricating oil basestock, and a minor amount of an additive package comprising: (i) a mixture comprising two or more phosphites and/or phosphates; (ii) one or more thioester compounds; (iii) a detergent comprising calcium salicylate; and (iv) a poly(alkylene amine)-based ashless dispersant endcapped with metallocene-catalyzed PAO arms. Such a transmission fluid may be used for controlling/reducing wear in at least partially electrically-powered transmissions and/or for cooling/insulating electrical/electronic components of at least partially electrically-powered drivetrains.

A lubricating composition includes an oil of lubricating viscosity, an N-alkylated dianiline compound, and at least one of a) an ashless antioxidant, and b) an overbased calcium detergent. The ashless antioxidant may be selected from a diarylamine antioxidant, a phenolic antioxidant, and combinations thereof. The lubricating composition may contain less than 0.15 weight percent of phosphorus.

Anaerobic sealant lubricant compositions and uses are disclosed. The anaerobic sealant lubricant compositions cure anaerobically but have lubricity for easy disassembly, making the compositions well suited for fasteners and threaded components.

The invention provides lubricating composition comprising: an oil of lubricating viscosity, and an oxyalkylated hydrocarbyl phenol, wherein the oxyalkylated hydrocarbyl phenol is substituted with at least one aliphatic hydrocarbyl group of 40 to 96 carbon atoms, and wherein the oxyalkylated hydrocarbyl phenol is substantially free of aromatic hydrocarbyl groups. The invention further relates to a method of lubricating a mechanical device (such as an internal combustion engine) with the lubricating composition. The invention further relates to the use of the oxyalkylated hydrocarbyl phenol in the lubricating composition to a passenger car internal combustion engine at least one of (i) control of fuel economy, (ii) control of corrosion, (iii) cleanliness, and (iv) control of bore wear.

A lubricating composition includes an oil of lubricating viscosity, an N-alkyl naphthylamine, and at least one ashless antioxidant selected from a diarylamine antioxidant, a phenolic antioxidant, and mixtures thereof. The lubricating composition has a phosphorus content of less than 0.15 weight percent. The combination of the N-alkyl naphthylamine and ashless antioxidant provides a beneficial effect on the basicity of the composition without negatively impacting seals performance.

A zinc free or substantially zinc free lubricant having a sulfated ash content of less than about 1.0 percent and including (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) 0.03 to about 3.0 weight percent of a phosphite compound; (c) an metal containing detergent; (d) a polyisobutylene succinimide dispersant derived from an ethylene polyamine and having a carbonyl to nitrogen ratio equal or greater than 1; (e) at least one other dispersant; (f) a boron containing compound in amount to provide at least 25 ppm boron to the lubricant composition is useful for inhibiting siloxane deposits in a stationary gas engine fueled by natural gas having a high silicon concentration.

Fuel and lubricant compositions are provided that contain a primary low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI)-reducing additive comprising (i) an amino additive, (ii) an amine additive, (iii) a triazole additive, (iv) a benzamidinium additive, (v) a benzoxazole additive, or (vi) a NCX motif additive. Methods for preventing or reducing low speed pre-ignition events in spark-ignited engines using these compositions are also provided.

A composition of an oil-soluble ionic detergent that does not contribute metal ions to the composition, and which comprises a quaternary non-metallic pnictogen cation and an organic anion having at least one hydrocarbyl group of sufficient length to impart oil solubility to the detergent, the detergent having a total base number (TBN) to total acid number (TAN) ratio of at least 2:1 imparts ash-free basicity to a lubricant composition.

A composition of an oil-soluble ionic detergent that does not contribute metal ions to the composition, and which comprises a quaternary non-metallic pnictogen cation and an organic anion having at least one hydrocarbyl group of sufficient length to impart oil solubility to the detergent, the detergent having a total base number (TBN) to total acid number (TAN) ratio of at least 2:1 imparts ash-free basicity to a lubricant composition.

A lubricating composition includes an oil of lubricating viscosity and a low-ash additive system including a low molecular weight amine with a Total Base Number of at least 150, and an N-substituted hydrocarbyl-substituted succinimide dispersant. The low-ash additive system provides the lubricating composition with a significant boost in TBN without substantially lowering the flashpoint. The composition is particularly suited to use as a marine diesel engine lubricant.
