The invention relates to lubricating compositions, processes of making such lubricating compositions, and method of using such lubricating compositions. The lubricating compositions of the present invention include a dispersant comprising a quaternary ammonium salt, a phosphorus-containing compound, a metal dialkyldithiophosphate, a derivative of a hydroxyl carbonyl compound and an amine and/or an alcohol. These compositions provide balanced deposit control and wear performance without causing any seal compatibility issues.

The present invention relates to functional fluid compositions containing friction modifiers, and specifically stable compositions containing friction modifiers with limited solubility in and/or limited compatibility with the functional fluids with which they are used. In particular the present invention deals with functional fluids used in internal combustion engines, such as engine oils, and friction modifiers derived from hydroxy-carboxylic acids, where the friction modifier is present in the functional fluid composition at levels that would otherwise cause the composition to be unstable and/or hazy.
