Abstract

Abstract This invention is directed towards lubricant compositions comprising a lubricating oil and a corrosion inhibiting amount of a polycarboxylic acid containing at least four non-carboxylic carbon atoms and more than two carboxyl groups. These compositions, when based on synthetic ester oils, exhibit reduced tendencies to corrode metals used in construction of gas turbine engines, particularly, lead.
