A method for improving wear control, while maintaining or improving solubility and fuel efficiency, in an engine or other mechanical component lubricated with a lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil. The formulated oil has a composition including a lubricating oil base stock as a major component; and at least one metal salt of a carboxylic acid, as a minor component; wherein the metal salt of the carboxylic acid contains no sulfur or phosphorus; wherein the metal is selected from the group consisting of palladium (Pd), silver (Ag), gold (Au), zinc (Zn), and mixtures thereof; wherein the carboxylic acid is selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic carboxylic acid, a cycloaliphatic carboxylic acid, an aromatic carboxylic acid, and mixtures thereof; wherein the molar ratio of (zinc+palladium+silver+gold)/phosphorus of said formulated oil is greater than 1.0. The lubricating oils are useful in internal combustion engines.

Lubricating oil compositions with engine wear protection

Described herein are lubricant compositions that include combinations of lubricant additives that are effective at improving the surface finish of a range of manufactured materials and equipment. In particular, friction modifiers and antiwear additives are employed to decrease surface roughness of additive manufactured (AM), e.g., 3D printed, materials and equipment in concert with maximizing energy efficiency.

Lubricant compositions for surface finishing of materials

A lubricating oil base stock including one or more monoesters represented by the formula (I), (II), (III) and (IV) as defined herein. The lubricating oil base stock has a high temperature high shear (HTHS) viscosity of less than about 1.7 cP as determined by ASTM D4683, and a Noack volatility from about 15 to about 90 percent as determined by ASTM D5800. A lubricating oil containing the lubricating oil base stock including one or more monoesters represented by the formula (I), (II), (III) and (IV) as defined herein. A method for improving one or more of thermal and oxidative stability, solubility and dispersancy of polar additives, deposit control and traction control in a lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil containing the lubricating oil base stock including one or more monoesters represented by the formula (I), (II), (III) and (IV) as defined herein.

Low viscosity low volatility lubricating oil base stocks and methods of use thereof

The antiwear performance of turbine oils containing polymerized amine antioxidants and antiwear additives is maintained at or enhanced beyond the level as that of turbine oils containing monomeric amine antioxidants by employing as the antiwear additive a resorcinol bis(diphenylphosphate) (RDP). The deposit formation resistance performance of turbine oils containing monomeric and/or polymeric amine antioxidant is improved by employing RDP.

Method for maintaining antiwear performance of turbine oils containing polymerized amine antioxidants and for improving the deposit formation resistance performance of turbine oils containing monomeric and/or polymeric antioxidants

The deposit formation resistance performance of turbine oils containing amine antioxidants and antiwear additives is enhanced beyond the level of that of turbine oils containing tricresyl phosphate antiwear additive by employing as the antiwear additive a 4,4'-(Isopropylidenediphenyl)bis(diphenyl phosphate).

Method for improving the deposit formation resistance performance of turbine oils containing amine antioxidants

A Group IV/Group V lubricating composition providing improved antioxidation performance comprises from 5 wt. % to 40 wt. % of a Group V base oil component, such as alkylated naphthalene, at least 30 wt. % of a Group IV base oil component, such as one or more polyalphaolefin base stocks, and from 0.25 wt. % to 1.5 wt. % of a trithiophosphate-containing compound. The trithiophosphate-containing compound is preferably CHOPS. The lubricating composition includes not greater than 5 wt. % of a Group I, Group II, or Group III base oil component, and, preferably not greater than 10 ppm heavy metal component. The lubricating composition preferably has a kinematic viscosity of from 20 cSt to 1,000 cSt at 40&#xb0; C. and a viscosity index (VI) of from 130 to 200.
