Abstract

The present invention relates to improved lubricant compositions highly resistant to oxidative degradation comprising selected 5-tert.-butyl-4hydroxy-3-methylphenyl substituted fatty acid esters, diphenylamines and zinc dithiophosphates. The compositions as defined above are characterized by superior antioxidative properties. This can be demonstrated in various standard tests such as Deposit and Oxidation Panel Test (DOPT) and Pressurized Differential Scanning Calorimetry (PDSC).
