This invention relates to a lubricating oil composition comprising or resulting from the admixing of: a) 50 to 99 mass % of one or more base oils; b) 0.1 to 15 mass % of one or more functionalized olefin copolymer having an Mn of from 10,000 to 35,000 g/mol; c) 0.1 to 20 mass % of one or more detergents wherein the detergent comprises at least one calcium detergent having a TBN of more than 100 mg KOH/g; at least one calcium detergent having a TBN of 100 mg KOH/g or less; and at least one magnesium detergent, where the difference in the TBN's for the Ca detergents is at least 100 mg KOH/g; d) 0.01 to 40 mass % of one or more dispersants wherein the dispersants comprise at least one borated dispersant and at least one non borated dispersant; e) 0.01 to 20 of mass % sulfurized fatty acid ester; f) 0.01 to 5 mass % of one or more amine or phenol based antioxidants; and g) 0.001 to 15 mass % of molybdenum containing compound, where the lubricating oil composition has: 1) a sulfated ash content of 0.9 mass % or less; 2) a Mack T-11 final soot %@15 cSt of 6.7% or more; 3) a total base number of 5 to 30 mg KOH/g; 4) HTCBT of copper level increase of 20 ppm or less; 5) T-13 IR peak EOT of 40 abs/cm or less; and 6) Cam wear outlet of 45 μm or less.

Lubricating oil compositions

An additive concentrate package for a marine engine cylinder lubricant is made by mixing an oil of lubricating viscosity, a metal detergent and an oil-soluble alkoxylated alcohol.

Marine engine lubrication

A lubricating composition comprises an oil of lubricating viscosity, a metal-free pre-ceramic polymer and one or more co-additives. The metal-free pre-ceramic polymer comprises a plurality of repeat units which do not contain oxygen. The pre-ceramic polymers provide the lubricating oil composition with antiwear properties. Also described is a method of lubricating an internal combustion engine and the use of a lubricating oil composition containing a pre-ceramic polymers to inhibit wear in an internal combustion engine.

Lubricating oil compositions containing pre-ceramic polymers

A viscosity index improver containing, in non-ester diluent oil, one or more hydrogenated, functionalized linear block copolymers having at least one block derived from monoalkenyl arene covalently linked to at least one block derived from diene in an amount that is greater than the critical overlap concentration (c*), in mass %, for the linear block copolymers in the diluent oil; and an amount of ester base stock.

Viscosity index improver concentrates

A viscosity index improver containing, in diluent oil, one or more optionally functionalized linear block copolymers having at least one block derived from alkenyl arene covalently linked to at least one block derived from diene in an amount that is greater than the critical overlap concentration (c*), in mass %, for the linear block copolymers in the diluent oil; and ester base stock and/or at least one star (or radial) polymer, the star polymer being present in an amount such that the c/c* value of the star polymer in the concentrate falls within the range of from 0.01 to about 1.6, wherein c is the concentration in mass % of star polymer in the concentrate and c* is the critical overlap concentration in mass % for the star polymer in the diluent oil used to form the concentrate.
