As a consequence the lubricating composition of the invention may also result in increased fuel economy and decreased emissions of particulate matter.
- hydrocarbyl substituent or “hydrocarbyl group,” as used herein are used in its ordinary sense, which is well-known to those skilled in the art. Specifically, it refers to a group primarily composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms and attached to the remainder of the molecule through a carbon atom and which does not exclude the presence of other atoms or groups in a proportion insufficient to detract from the molecule having a predominantly hydrocarbon character. In general, no more than two, in one aspect no more than one, non-hydrocarbon substituent will be present for every ten carbon atoms in the hydrocarbyl group; typically, there will be no non-hydrocarbon substituents in the hydrocarbyl group. A more detailed definition of the terms "hydrocarbyl substituent” or “hydrocarbyl group,” is provided in US Patent Number 6,583,092.

Abstract
L'invention concerne une composition lubrifiante contenant: a) une quantité principale d'un ester d'un agent d'acylation polycarboxylique; et b) au moins un composé obtenu à partir de: i) un hydrocarbyle dithiophosphate de métal, ou ii) un modificateur de viscosité, l'hydrocarbyle dithiophosphate de métal contenant au moins un groupe hydrocarbyle comprenant un groupe fonctionnel aryle, un groupe fonctionnel substitué par aryle, ou leurs mélanges. Cette composition convient pour des moteurs fonctionnant à haute température, en particulier un moteur contenant de la céramique, en ce qu'elle permet de réaliser des économies de carburant, ou de réduire les émissions de matières particulaires, ou d'augmenter la stabilité oxydative et de réduire la formation de dépôts.
