Zusammenfassung:A method of lubricating an internal combustion engine with a power output of at least 1600 kilowatts, with a lubricating composition, the method comprising: (1) monitoring one or more performance characteristics of the engine; (2) selecting an additive package to provide a desired TBN level to a lubricating composition to modify the performance characteristics of the engine; (3) combining the additive package of step (2) with (a) a component having a viscosity of about 2 mm 2 /s to 12 mm 2 /s, comprising a light neutral base oil, and optionally (b) a component having a viscosity of above 12 mm 2 /s to about 40 mm 2 /s, comprising heavy neutral base oil or a brightstock, to form a lubricating composition; and (4) supplying the lubricating composition of step (3) to the engine.
