A lubricating oil composition having a sulfur content of up to about 0.4 wt. % and a sulfated ash content of up to about 0.5 wt. % as determined by ASTM D874 is disclosed which comprises (a) a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) at least one oil-soluble or dispersed oil-stable boron-containing compound having greater than 400 ppm of boron, based upon the total mass of the composition; and (c) at least one oil-soluble or dispersed oil-stable molybdenum-containing compound having at least about 1100 ppm of molybdenum, based upon the total mass of the composition; wherein the lubricating oil composition has a ratio of sulfur to molybdenum of less than or equal to about 4:1.

Lubricating oil compositons

A lubricating oil composition having a sulfur content of up to about 0.4 wt. % and a sulfated ash content of up to about 0.5 wt. % as determined by ASTM D874 is disclosed which comprises (a) a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) at least one oil-soluble or dispersed oil-stable boron-containing compound having no more than about 400 ppm of boron; and (c) at least one oil-soluble or dispersed oil-stable molybdenum-containing compound having at least about 1100 ppm of molybdenum, based upon the total mass of the composition; wherein the lubricating oil composition has a ratio of sulfur to molybdenum of less than or equal to about 4:1.

Lubricating oil composition

A lubricating oil composition having a sulfur content of up to about 0.4 wt. % and a sulfated ash content of up to about 0.5 wt. % as determined by ASTM D874 is disclosed which comprises (a) a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) at least one oil-soluble or dispersed oil-stable boron-containing compound having no more than about 600 ppm of boron, based upon the total mass of the composition; and (c) at least one oil-soluble or dispersed oil-stable molybdenum-containing compound having no more than about 800 ppm of molybdenum, based upon the total mass of the composition; wherein the lubricating oil composition has a ratio of sulfur to molybdenum of about 5:1 to about 500:1.

Lubricating oil compositions

Disclosed are methods and lubricant compositions for reducing wear in heavy-duty diesel engines. The lubricant compositions disclosed herein comprise a combination of an anti-wear effective amount of a dispersed, hydrated alkali metal borate, a neutral sulfonate and an overbased detergent composition.

Methods and compositions for reducing wear in heavy-duty diesel engines

The invention relates to the use of an effective quantity of borated compounds having the following general formula I: ##STR1## in which X is S or O, and R is a hydrocarbyl group containing at least 3 carbon atoms, in particular between 3 and 50 carbon atoms and preferably between 3 and 17 carbon atoms, as an additive improving the compatibility of a lubricating oil composition, comprising dispersants containing basic nitrogen atoms, with fluorocarbon elastomers. In a preferred fashion, the compound of general formula I is borated glycerol monooleate and the concentration of the compound of general formula I is such that the % Boron/% basic N ratio of the lubricating composition varies from 0.25 to 5.
