Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 171 words
Crankcase lubricating oil composition effective in both gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity containing 0-15 wt. % of a viscosity index improver and (a) at least about 0.5 wt. % of a lubricating oil dispersant; (b) about 2 to 12 wt. % of an overbased metal detergent additive or mixtures thereof with neutral metal detergent additive, said metal detergent additive being selected from the group consisting of oil soluble calcium, magnesium and barium sulfonates, phenates, and sulfurized phenates; (c) a zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate anti-wear additive; and (d) a polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride having and Mn (number average) molecular weight of about 900 to 2000; wherein the weight ratio of said dispersant to said polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride is less than 1.75 when the amount of dispersant in the composition is about 3.5 wt. % or less and said weight ratio being less than about 7 when the amount of dispersant present is greater than 3.5 wt. % up to about 10 wt. %.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 171 words
Crankcase lubricating oil composition effective in both gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity containing 0-15 wt. % of a viscosity index improver and (a) at least about 0.5 wt. % of a lubricating oil dispersant; (b) about 2 to 12 wt. % of an overbased metal detergent additive or mixtures thereof with neutral metal detergent additive, said metal detergent additive being selected from the group consisting of oil soluble calcium, magnesium and barium sulfonates, phenates, and sulfurized phenates; (c) a zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate anti-wear additive; and (d) a polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride having and Mn (number average) molecular weight of about 900 to 2000; wherein the weight ratio of said dispersant to said polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride is less than 1.75 when the amount of dispersant in the composition is about 3.5 wt. % or less and said weight ratio being less than about 7 when the amount of dispersant present is greater than 3.5 wt. % up to about 10 wt. %.
