Abstract
Abstract Lubricating oil compositions suitable for use in marine diesel engines comprise 60 to 85 parts by weight of lubricating oil, 15 to 30 parts by weight of a mixture of more than 50 wt .% of a Group IIa metal overbased detergent and up to 50 wt .% of a Group Ia metal overbased detergent and 0.2 to 5 parts by weight of an antioxidant, provided the weight ratio of the overbased detergent mixture to antioxidant lies between 7.5:1 and 50:1, all parts by weight referring to total active matter of the additive. When used in loop-scavenged crosshead marine diesel engines fouling of air ports with deposits is considerably reduced and there is a satisfactory anti-wear performance.
