A rust inhibitor providing a pass in the TORT B rust test, comprising a solubility improver, a mixture of amine phosphates, and an alkenyl succinic compound. A finished lubricant comprising the rust inhibitor and a lubricating base oil. A finished lubricant having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. between about 90 and 1700 cSt that passes the TORT B rust test, comprising a highly paraffinic base oil and a solubility improver having an aniline point less than 50° C. A finished lubricant that passes the TORT B rust test, comprising a Fischer-Tropsch wax, oligomerized olefins, or mixture thereof; and a solubility improver. A process for making a lubricant, comprising blending together: a) a mixture of amine phosphates, b) an alkenyl succinic compound, and c) a highly paraffinic lubricating base oil. A method of improving the rust inhibition of a lubricating oil by incorporating a solubility improver having an aniline point <10° C. |
