The invention is directed to a zinc-free lubricating composition for an internal combustion engine containing a phosphorus anti-wear agent, an ashless antioxidant, and a metal-free basic detergent. The lubricating composition provides wear protection, deposit control, and improved acid control with reduced levels of metal-containing additives.

An industrial fluid additive composition comprises one or more sequestering agents one or more compounds of formula (A): (A) wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently selected from substituted hydrocarbyl moieties containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl moieties containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms. ##STR00001##

The present disclosure describes lubricant compositions effective to minimize average engine sludge through selection of lubricant additives that control the total nitrogen as well as the origin of the nitrogen in the lubricant composition. In aspects, the lubricant compositions herein include at least a base oil of lubricating viscosity, a dispersant system, and at least one antioxidant.

The invention provides a lubricating composition comprising a low viscosity base oil and a synergistic mixture of a functionalized ethylene-α-olefin copolymer, a poly(meth)acrylate polymer, and a metal-free anti-wear agent. The invention also provides a method of lubricating an internal combustion engine using such a lubricating composition.

The present disclosure relates to a lubricant composition comprising a lubricant, a first ionic liquid which is soluble in polyalphaolefin and a second ionic liquid which is insoluble in polyalphaolefin. By using the two different ionic liquids, the technical properties of the lubricant compositions can be improved.
