This disclosure describes lubricating additives and lubricants including such additives suitable for and/or configured for mixed fleet use and, for instance, additives and lubricants that satisfy performance standards for typical spark ignition passenger car lubricants as well as performance standards for lubricants suitable for typical compression ignition heavy duty engine applications.

The invention relates to lubricating greases based on alkali metal soaps and/or earth-alkali metal soaps and metal complex soaps based on (R)-10-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid and to the use thereof.

This invention relates to N-alkylated anthranilic acid derivative and their use in lubricants, such as engine oils, as TBN boosters. The invention particularly relates to compositions that deliver an ash-free base to a lubricant in the form of a basic amine additive, without adversely impacting seal compatibility and/or degradation, and methods thereof.

A crankcase lubricating oil composition for the crankcase of a spark-ignited or compression-ignited internal combustion engine, comprising a magnesium-containing detergent, in an amount sufficient to provide from 200-4000 ppm magnesium to the lubricating oil composition, in combination with an oil-soluble or oil-dispersible molybdenum compound in an amount sufficient to provide from 600-1500 ppm molybdenum atoms to the lubricating oil composition, and with an oil-soluble or oil-dispersible boron-containing compound in an amount sufficient to provide from 200-600 ppm boron atoms to the lubricating oil composition to improve the friction and fuel economy performance.

Disclosed herein are marine diesel cylinder lubricating oil compositions comprising (a) a major amount of one or more Group II basestocks, and (b) a detergent composition comprising (i) one or more alkaline earth metal salts of an alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic carboxylic acid having a total base number (TBN) greater than 250, and (ii) one or more high overbased alkyl aromatic sulfonic acids or salts thereof; wherein the aromatic moiety of the alkyl aromatic sulfonic acids or salts thereof contains no hydroxyl groups; and wherein the marine diesel cylinder lubricating oil composition has a TBN of about 5 to about 120.

The present invention relates to a polybutene-free lubricating composition, a method for lubricating a compressor using said lubricating composition and a method for pressurizing olefin in a compressor lubricated with said lubricating composition, the use of said lubricating composition for lubricating a compressor, a method of pressurizing olefin in a compressor lubricated with said lubricating composition and a method of preparing a high pressure polyolefin using a high pressure compressor lubricated with said lubricating composition.

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.

The invention relates to the use of at least one phosphorus compound, which is free of sulfur and has no amine function, as an anti-wear and extreme-pressure additive in a lubricant composition for a propulsion system of an electric or hybrid vehicle. The invention also relates to the use of a lubricant composition comprising at least one phosphorus compound, which is free of sulfur and has no amine function, as an anti-wear and extreme-pressure additive, for lubricating and optionally cooling a propulsion system of an electric or hybrid vehicle, in particular for lubricating and cooling the electric motor and the power electronics of an electric or hybrid vehicle.

Provided herein are friction reducers comprising a thickening agent, a liquid medium, and a stabilizing agent; and methods and uses thereof for the treatment of an oil and/or gas well having a wellbore.

A lubricating oil composition including a major amount of a base oil, one or more calcium-containing detergents to provide at least 1000 ppmw of calcium, and one or more silicon-containing compound(s) to provide at least 50 ppmw of silicon to the lubricating oil composition, all based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition, wherein a ratio of ppmw of silicon provided by the one or more silicon-containing compound(s) to the lubricating oil composition to the ppmw of calcium provided by the one or more calcium-containing detergent(s) to the lubricating oil composition is from 0.02 to 1. Methods of using these compositions and silicon-containing detergents are also described.
