Disclosed is a lubricant composition including: at least one base oil; at least one olefin copolymer; at least one detergent; and at least one hydrogenated and linear styrene/butadiene copolymer. Also disclosed is the use of this composition for reducing the fuel consumption of an engine and for improving the cleanliness of a 4-stroke or 2-stroke, preferably 4-stroke marine engine, or of a stationary engine.

The present disclosure relates to a lubricant composition comprising a first phosphorus compound, a second phosphorus compound, and a third phosphorus compound, wherein the first phosphorus compound is present in the lubricant composition in an amount to provide between about 120 and 350 ppm phosphorus. The lubricant composition may provide robust anti-wear and reduced pitting.

The instant disclosure provides a process for preparing a lubricant or fuel additive mixture where an oil of lubricating viscosity or fuel are blended with additives that are mixed via an acoustic mixer. The additives and oil of lubricating viscosity or fuel can mixed together or any component of the lubricant or fuel additive mixture can be mixed separately prior to mixing to form the final lubricant. The process provides for continuous mixing to form lubricant and/or fuel additive mixture final products.

Lubricant composition comprising:

at least one base oil; and

0.1 to 30% by weight of an imidazoline compound of formula (A):

##STR00001##

defined such that:

R.sup.1 represents a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group comprising 1 to 16 carbon atoms, optionally substituted at the end of the chain by a group selected from among NH.sub.2, OH or SH; and
