Abstract
Abstract An improved lubricating oil composition comprising a major amount by weight of oil of lubricating viscosity, a minor amount by weight of solid particles effective to improve the lubricating properties of the composition; and a minor amount of certain dispersant --VI improver materials. This composition provides improved inhibition of sludge and varnish formation in use.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A lubricating oil composition of matter comprising: a major amount by weight of oil of lubricating viscosity; from about 0.1% to about 2% by weight of the total composition of solid particles effective to improve the lubricating properties of said composition; and from about 3% to about 10% by weight of the total composition of at least one dispersant-VI improver compound which acts to improve the dispersant properties of said lubricating oil composition and also acts to improve the viscosity index of said lubricating oil composition, said solid particles being selected from the group consisting of graphite, molybdenum disulfide, zinc oxide, and mixtures thereof, said composition of matter characterized by its ability to reduce friction in an internal combustion engine without exhibiting unacceptable deposit forming tendencies.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
A lubricating oil composition of matter comprising: a major amount by weight of oil of lubricating viscosity; from about 0.1% to about 2% by weight of the total composition of solid particles effective to improve the lubricating properties of said composition; and from about 3% to about 10% by weight of the total composition of at least one dispersant-VI improver compound which acts to improve the dispersant properties of said lubricating oil composition and also acts to improve the viscosity index of said lubricating oil composition, said solid particles being selected from the group consisting of graphite, molybdenum disulfide, zinc oxide, and mixtures thereof, said composition of matter characterized by its ability to reduce friction in an internal combustion engine without exhibiting unacceptable deposit forming tendencies.
