Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to lubricating oil compositions. More particularly, the present invention relates to lubricating oil compositions for use in engines comprising emission control systems.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Environmental concerns have led to continued efforts to reduce the CO, hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions of compression ignited (diesel-fueled) and spark ignited (gasoline-fueled) light duty internal combustion engines. Further, there have been continued efforts to reduce the particulate emissions of compression ignited light duty internal combustion engines. To meet the current and upcoming emission standards for vehicles, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) rely on the use of exhaust gas after-treatment devices. Such exhaust gas after-treatment devices may include exhaust gas recirculation arrangements and cooled exhaust gas recirculation arrangements, catalytic converters, which can contain one or more oxidation catalysts, NOx st...
