- the lubricating oil composition may be characterized by the inclusion of at least one overbased low molecular weight zinc dialkyldithiophosphate.
- the method relates to using the lubricating oil composition to lubricate an internal combustion engine equipped with the exhaust gas after treatment device.
- the exhaust gas after treatment device comprises a catalyst and the contamination of the catalyst is reduced.
- phosphorus in the form of zinc dialkyldithiophosphates have been used as extreme pressure (EP) and antiwear additives in engine oils.

- ILSAC GF-1 phosphorus levels were limited to no more than 1200 parts per million (ppm) and with GF-3 to 1000 ppm.
