2. The lubricating oil composition of claim 1 wherein glycerol monooleate is present in an amount in the range of from 0.05 to 5.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
3. The lubricating oil composition of claim 1 wherein said nitrile compound is present in an amount in the range of from 0.1 to 1.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
4. The lubricating oil composition of claim 1 wherein the lubricating oil composition further comprise at lease one additional polyhydric alcohol ester each present in an additive amount in the range of from 0.1 to 1.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
5. The lubricating oil composition of claim 4 wherein the additional polyhydric alcohol ester is selected from glycerol esters different than glycerol monooleate.
6. The lubricating oil of claim 5 wherein the additional polyhydric alcohol ester is selected from the group consisting of glycerol dioleate, glycerol trioleate, neopentyl glycol esters, pentaerythritol esters, trimethylolpropane esters, and mixtures thereof.
7. The lubricating oil composition of claim 4 wherein the additional polyhydric alcohol ester is each present in an additive amount in the range of from 0.3 to 0.6 wt. %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
8. The lubricating oil composition of claim 1 wherein the lubricating oil composition has a total amount of phosphorus in the range of from 0.04 to 0.1 wt. and/or has a sulphur content of not greater than 1.2 wt. %, based on total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
9. The lubricating oil composition of claim 1 wherein the lubricating oil composition has a sulphated ash content of not greater than 1.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
10. The lubricating oil composition of claim 1 wherein the lubricating oil composition further comprises at least one thickening agent.
11. A method of lubricating an internal combustion engine comprising applying a lubricating oil composition of claim 1 to the internal combustion engine.
12. A lubricating oil composition comprising base oil, glycerol monooleate and at least one nitrile compound having 8 to 24 carbon atoms.
13. A lubricating oil composition comprising: (a) base oil; (b) 0.05to 5.0 wt %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition, of glycerol monooleate; (c) 0.1 to 1.0 wt %; based on the weight of the lubricating oil composition, of at least one nitrile compound having 8 to 24 carbon atoms; and (d) 0.1 to 1.0 wt %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition of, at least one additional polyhydrin alcohol.
14. The lubricating oil composition of claim 13 wherein said lubricating oil composition has a total amount of phosphorus in the range of from 0.04 to 0.1 wt % and/or has a sulphur content of not greater than 1.2 wt %, based on total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
15. The lubricating oil composition of claim 12 wherein the lubricating oil composition further comprise at lease one additional polyhydric alcohol ester each present in an additive amount in the range of from 0.1 to 1.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
16. The lubricating oil composition of claim 15 wherein the additional polyhydric alcohol ester is selected from the group consisting of glycerol dioleate, glycerol trioleate, neopentyl glycol esters, pentaerythritol esters, trimethylolpropane esters, and mixtures thereof.
17. The lubricating oil composition of claim 15 wherein the additional polyhydric alcohol ester is each present in an additive amount in the range of from 0.3to 0.6 wt. %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
18. The lubricating oil composition of claim 12 wherein the lubricating oil composition has a total amount of phosphorus in the range of from 0.04 to 0.1 wt. and/or has a sulphur content of not greater than 1.2 wt. %, based on total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
19. The lubricating oil composition of claim 12 wherein the lubricating oil composition has a sulphated ash content of not greater than 1.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
20. The lubricating oil composition of claim 12 wherein the lubricating oil composition further comprises at least one thickening agent.
21. A method of lubricating an internal combustion engine comprising applying a lubricating oil composition of claim 12 to the internal combustion engine.
