Methods and compositions for reducing wear in internal combustion engines lubricated with a low phosphorus content lubricating oil

摘要

Disclosed are methods and lubricant compositions for reducing wear in internal combustion engines lubricated with a low phosphorus content lubricating oil. The lubricant compositions ofthis invention comprise a synergistic combination of a complex of a molybdenum/nitrogen containing compound and at least one phosphorus-containing compound wherein the total phosphorus employed in the composition is no more than about 0.06 weight percent based on the total weight of the composition.
