                 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                June 30, 1995


1.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all
    adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
    present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1995 and
    December 31, 1994, and the results of operations and the cash flows for
    the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.

2.  Certain of the company's marketable equity securities, included in
    investments in nonconsolidated companies, were classified as available
    for sale and carried at fair market value.  During the first half of
    1995, the company sold all of its remaining shares of Genentech common
    stock realizing proceeds of $40.2 million and a pretax gain of $38.5
    million.

    The company also holds other investments in nonconsolidated companies,
    including certain investments in marketable securities that are either
    accounted for on the equity basis or the cost basis due to restrictions
    placed on the securities.  These marketable investments have quoted
    market values which exceed the book carrying values by $15.6 million at
    June 30, 1995.

3.  On June 26, 1995, the company publicly issued debentures in the aggregate
    principal amount of $100 million.  The debentures are unsecured, senior
    obligations of the company that mature on June 15, 2025, and bear
    interest from June 15, 1995 at 7.25% payable semi-annually on June 15 and
    December 15 of each year.  The debentures are not redeemable prior to
    maturity and are not subject to any sinking fund.

4.  The company uses derivative financial instruments only to manage well-
    defined foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price risk.  The
    company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading
    purposes.  At June 30, 1995, the company had forward contracts to sell
    currencies at various dates during 1995 for $9.6 million.  The maximum
    amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at any one time
    during the first six months of 1995 was $15.2 million.

    The company has an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converts
    floating rate debt on $18.4 million of Marine Terminal Refunding Revenue
    Bonds due July 1, 2000 to a fixed rate of 6.5%.  In addition during the
    first quarter of 1995, the company entered into an interest rate swap
    agreement that converts $50 million of variable rate short-term borrowing
    to a fixed rate of 7.6% for up to 10 years.

5.  On November 18, 1993, a federal court jury in Houston, Texas, awarded
    Exxon Corporation $48 million in damages in a patent case brought, in
    1989, against the company.  The damages award relates to a December 1992
    verdict that the company willfully infringed an Exxon patent pertaining
    to an oil soluble copper additive component.  On February 18, 1994, the
    trial court judge doubled the damages amount and awarded prejudgment
    interest, court costs and additional attorneys' fees to Exxon.  The total
    amount of the judgment, including previously awarded attorneys' fees, is
    $129 million.  The company has obtained a bond to stay enforcement of the
    judgment pending the company's appeal discussed below.  

    The original December 1992 finding of willful infringement, as well as
    the jury's determination that the patent is valid, remains on appeal to
    the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit Court in
    Washington, D.C., which has jurisdiction over all patent cases.  Oral
    arguments on this appeal were held on December 6, 1993, and the company
    does not know when a decision will be announced.  This decision could
    reverse or modify the judgment against the company.  In addition, oral
    arguments on the February 1994 damages award were heard by the same court
    in Washington, D.C., on March 8, 1995, and the company does not know when
    a decision will be announced.  The company's management continues to
    believe that it has not infringed the Exxon patent and that the patent is
    invalid.  Based on the advice of legal counsel, management believes that
    the December 1992 trial court judgment will not be upheld on appeal. 
    Therefore, no amount related to the judgement has been recorded in the
    company's financial statements.

    The company has prevailed in a separate case brought in Canada against
    Exxon's Canadian affiliate, Imperial Oil, Ltd., for infringement of the
    company's patent pertaining to dispersant, the largest additive component
    used in motor oils.  A 1990 trial court verdict in favor of the company
    regarding the issue of liability was upheld by the Federal Court of
    Appeals of Canada in December 1992, and in October 1993, the Supreme
    Court of Canada dismissed Imperial Oil's appeal of the Court of Appeals
    decision.  The case has returned to the trial court for an assessment of
    damages.  On October 4, 1994, the trial court judge awarded the company
    $15 million (Canadian) in special penalty damages, plus attorneys' fees,
    against Imperial Oil for disregarding an earlier injunction for the
    manufacture or sale of the dispersant which is the subject of this case. 
    Imperial Oil commenced proceedings to appeal the award of penalty
    damages.  The company has not reflected the award of penalty damages
    within its financial statements pending the outcome of the appeal
    process.  The penalty damages are in addition to compensation damages, as
    to which no date has been set for a determination.  A reasonable
    estimation of the company's potential recovery for compensation damages
    cannot be made at this time.

              Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                Financial Condition and Results of Operations 



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues increased $29.6 million, or 7% in the second quarter of 1995
compared to the second quarter of 1994 and $46.7 million, or 6% for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1994. 
Price increases implemented in 1995 and more favorable product mix increased
revenues by 5% in the second quarter of 1995 and 4% in the first six months
of 1995 as compared to the respective 1994 periods.  In addition, the impact
of translating various international currencies into a weakened U.S. dollar
accounted for a 5% increase in revenues for both the second quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1995.  Internationally, volume was down 4% in the
second quarter and 6% for the first six months, primarily due to unusually
high spot business in the Middle East during 1994 that did not recur in 1995. 
In North America, volume was down 1% in the second quarter and up 2% for the
first six months.  Overall, volume declined 3% in both the quarter and the
six month periods ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the respective prior
periods.  Excluding the spot business from the 1994 periods, volume increased
2% for the quarter and 1.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

Gross profit (sales less cost of sales) increased 10% to $148.9 million for
the second quarter and 10% to $286.2 million for the first six months of 1995
as compared to the respective periods of the previous year.  Gross profit as
a percent of sales increased from 33.1% to 34.1% for the quarter and from
32.3% to 33.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  This improvement was
a result of higher revenues more than offsetting an increase in average
material cost per metric ton, including mix and currency, of 12% for the
quarter and 10% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 combined with the
absence of the 1994 spot business in the Middle East which had a relatively
low gross profit.  Favorable currency effects also increased gross profit as
a percent of sales by approximately one-half percentage point for the quarter
and for the first six months of 1995.

The company's organizational realignment initiatives, which began in 1993,
have slowed the rate of increase in its cost and expenses.  Selling and
administrative expenses increased 5% for both the second quarter and six
month period ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the prior year.  Research,
testing and development expenses (technology expenses) increased 16% for the
second quarter and 9% for the six month period ended June 30, 1995. 
Technology expenses have increased over the respective 1994 periods as a
result of increased emphasis on longer-term strategic research and timing of
the various testing programs related to product development worldwide. 
Technology expenses for the second half of 1995 are expected to be slightly
higher than the first half levels due to testing for new engine oil
specifications in both the United States and Europe.  The company's
manufacturing, technology and selling and administrative expenses increased
a total of 5% compared to the first six months of 1994.  However, excluding
the effects of currency, such expenses increased less than 1%.  Selling,
administrative and technology expenses for the first six months of 1995 were
just below 20% of revenues, which is consistent with management's goal.

                Financial Condition and Results of Operations



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The company sold all of its remaining 552,700 shares of Genentech, Inc.
common stock in the second quarter of 1995 resulting in a pretax gain of
$25.4 million (26 cents per share after tax).  For the first six months of
1995, such gains were $38.5 million (39 cents per share).  During 1994, the
company had pretax gains on the sales of Genentech common stock of $11.9
million (12 cents per share after tax) for the second quarter and $23.4
million (23 cents per share) for the six months.  

Other income-net increased $2.3 million in the second quarter of 1995 and
$2.0 million in the six month period ended June 30, 1995, as compared to the
respective 1994 periods.  Other income includes the results of the company's
investment in Mycogen Corporation and its agribusiness joint venture. 
Mycogen's earnings are seasonal with the majority of its income recorded in
the first half of the year and losses recorded in the second half.  Compared
to 1994, equity earnings from Mycogen were $1.9 million less for the second
quarter and $2.5 million less for the six months as a result of lower
consolidated earnings of Mycogen.  Other gains, including favorable exchange
gains, and improved equity earnings from the company's specialty chemical
joint ventures more than offset the lower equity earnings from Mycogen.

Interest expense increased $1.4 million for the quarter and $2.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1995, due to higher average borrowings
outstanding to meet the requirements of the capital expenditure and share
repurchase programs.

The company transacts business in over 100 counties around the world.  As the
U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens against other international currencies,
the financial results of the company will be affected.  During 1995, the U.S.
dollar has weakened, primarily against the French franc, German deutsche mark
and Japanese yen, compared to the respective 1994 periods.  This resulted in
favorable currency effects on operations of 8 cents per share in the second
quarter and 13 cents per share for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

As a result of the factors discussed above and a higher effective tax rate,
net income increased $12.1 million, or 25% for the second quarter, and
increased $17.9 million, or 19% for the first six months of 1995 as compared
to the respective periods of 1994.

Excluding the gain on sale of Genentech common stock, earnings per share were
$.70 for the second quarter and $1.32 for the first six months of 1995, an
increase of 13% for each period as compared to 1994.  This improvement was
primarily the result of higher product pricing, positive currency effects and
the benefits of cost management initiatives offsetting the negative impact of
lower volume and higher raw material costs.

                Financial Condition and Results of Operations


WORKING CAPITAL, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided from operating activities was $94.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1995, compared to $68.8 million for the first six months of
1994.  The increase of $25.6 million is attributable to improved earnings and
favorable changes in working capital requirements.

In late June 1995, the company publicly issued $100 million of 7.25%
debentures due in 30 years.  The net proceeds from this debt issuance are
being used to repay outstanding commercial paper borrowings as they mature. 
Due to the timing of commercial paper maturities, approximately $26 million
of the debt proceeds was included in cash at June 30, 1995 and, subsequently,
used to repay commercial paper after that date.  Total short- and long-term
debt at June 30, 1995 was $260.1 million compared to $167.9 million at
December 31, 1994.  The percent of debt to total capital increased to 23% at
June 30, 1995 from 17% at December 31, 1994.  

Capital expenditures were $106 million in the first six months of 1995, up
51% over the first six months of 1994.  Capital expenditures in the second
quarter of 1995 were $50.7 million as compared to $55.3 million during the
first quarter of 1995.  These expenditures were primarily in the United
States and France, of which 70% pertained to capital additions at
manufacturing plants to enhance or maintain production capabilities,
including maintaining facilities in compliance with environmental and safety
regulations, and the remaining 30% was principally for construction of new
administrative and technical facilities at the company's headquarters. 
Capital expenditures for the 1995 year are expected to be between $190 and
$200 million as the company continues with its capital spending program. 
Management expects capital expenditures will begin to decline in 1996 as a
result of the completion of major projects.

The company repurchased 875,000 and 462,000 of its common shares during the
second and first quarters of 1995, respectively, for an aggregate cost of
$46.5 million.  The company historically has used the after-tax proceeds from
its sale of Genentech common stock, as well as operating cash flow, to
repurchase its common shares.  At June 30, 1995, there were approximately 3.7
million shares remaining under the company's authorized share repurchase
program.  Although the company has sold its remaining investment in
Genentech, it intends to continue its share repurchase program at a reduced
rate for the remainder of 1995.

As a result of these activities, cash and short-term investments increased
$41.2 million to $77.6 million at June 30, 1995.

                Financial Condition and Results of Operations


WORKING CAPITAL, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)

The company's financial position continues to be strong with a ratio of
current assets to current liabilities of 2.7 to 1 at June 30, 1995, and 2.5
to 1 at December 31, 1994.  This increase reflects the replacement of short-
term debt with the issuance of $100 million in long-term debentures in June
1995.  Management believes the company's credit facilities and internally
generated funds will be sufficient to meet its capital needs.

As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the company is involved
in patent litigation with Exxon Corporation in various countries. 
Determinations of liability against the company in the U.S., which is subject
to appeal, and against Exxon in Canada have been made by the courts. 
Management is unable to predict the eventual outcomes of this litigation and,
therefore, the impact on future cash flows is not known.  If Exxon prevails
in the U.S., management believes the company has sufficient financial
resources to meet any resulting obligation and, other than a potential one-
time charge against income, the litigation will not have a material adverse
effect on future results of operations.

                                                 EXHIBIT 10


                          THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION

                   Deferred Compensation Plan For Officers

                         (As Amended June 17, 1995)

1.    Purpose.  The purpose of this Deferred Compensation Plan For
Officers (the "Plan") is to permit an officer (as identified by the
Company for Section 16 purposes under the Securities Act of 1934)
(sometimes hereinafter referred to as "officer" or as the "Participant")
of The Lubrizol Corporation (the "Company"), who wishes, to defer a
portion of such officer"s compensation until retirement or other
termination of employment all as provided in the Plan.  

2.  Administration.  The Plan shall be administered by the Organization
and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Committee").  The Committee's interpretation and construction of all
provisions of the Plan shall be binding and conclusive upon all
Participants and their heirs and/or successors.

3.  Right to Defer Compensation.  

      (a)   An officer of the Company may, at any time prior to January 1
of a given calendar year, elect, for one or more future successive
calendar years, to defer under the Plan a pre-selected amount of such
officer's total annual compensation, including bonus, which such officer
may thereafter be entitled to receive for services performed during such
elected calendar year or years. 

      (b)   The election under this Section 3 shall take effect on the
first day of the calendar year following the date on which the election is
made and such election shall be irrevocable for any elected calendar year
after such elected calendar year shall have commenced.

      (c)   The pre-selected amount that an officer may elect to defer
shall be one or more of the following:

            (i)   a fixed dollar amount or percentage of the officer's bi-
                  weekly base salary;

            (ii)  a fixed dollar amount or percentage of the officer's
                  quarterly pay;
                  
            (iii) a fixed dollar amount or percentage of the officer's
                  share in the variable compensation component, if any;

            (iv)  a fixed dollar amount or percentage of the officer's  
                  participation in the variable award plan, if any.

<PAGE>
      (d)   In addition to the provisions of paragraph (c), an officer may
elect to defer that portion or all of the officer's participation, if any,
in (i) the variable compensation component and/or (ii) the variable award
plan for services rendered during the elected calendar year, to the extent
that such amounts would otherwise be non-deductible by the Company
pursuant to section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  The
amount of the election under this paragraph (d) shall be determined after
taking into account the officer's election, if any, under paragraph (c).

      (e)   Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b), where an officer first
becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, the newly eligible officer
may make the election under this Section 3 to defer the specified
compensation for services to be performed subsequent to the election and
for the remainder of the calendar year in which the election under this
Section 3 is made provided such election is made within 30 days after the
date the officer first becomes eligible.   

      (f)   All elections under this Plan shall be made by written notice
delivered to the Vice President, Human Resources, of the Company
specifying (i) the number of calendar years, one or more, during which the
election shall apply, (ii) the portion, if any, determined under paragraph
(c), of each category of the Participant's compensation to be deferred for
such year or years, as described above, and (iii) the periodic payment
schedule selected subject to (x) the installment period limitation and (y)
the computation of each installment payment, as provided in Section 5. 

      (g)   A Participant may designate that the election under this
Section  3 shall remain in effect until the Participant, on a prospective
basis, withdraws the election or changes the amount to be deferred;
PROVIDED THAT that, if the Participant changes only the amount to be
deferred, the periodic payment schedule selected under paragraph (f)(iii)
shall continue to apply.  Any notice of the withdrawal of the election
shall be effective on the first day of the calendar year following the
date on which such notice is given to the Company's Vice President, Human
Resources; PROVIDED THAT, such notice shall not change, alter or terminate
the deferral of the officer's participation in the variable award plan for
the year in which such notice of withdrawal is given which, except for the
deferral, would be payable in the calendar year following the date on
which such notice of withdrawal is given.  Notwithstanding paragraph (f)
and the first sentence of this paragraph (g), any compensation earned
after the end of the first month in which a Participant under this Plan 
no longer is an officer of the Company, as defined in Section 1, but
continues to be employed by the Company, shall not be deferred, PROVIDED
HOWEVER, the balance in the Participant's Accounts shall continue to be
held and administered pursuant to the Plan.
<PAGE>
4.  Deferred Compensation Accounts.  

      (a)   On the last day of each month during which the compensation 
deferred under the Plan would have become payable to the Participant in
the absence of an election under the Plan to defer payment thereof, the
amount of such deferred compensation, reduced by the amount of any
applicable federal, state and/or local payroll taxes, shall be credited to
a DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNT (the "Participant's Account") which shall
be established and maintained for each Participant in the Company's
accounting books and records.  To the extent that, at the time amounts are
credited to a Participant's Account, any federal, state or local payroll
withholding tax applies (e.g., Medicare withholding tax), the Participant
shall be responsible for the payment of such amount to the Company and the
Company shall promptly remit such amount to the proper taxing authority.

      (b)   Interest shall accrue on the month-end balance in each
Participant's Account as of the last day of each month and shall be
computed at the Federal Reserve 90-day Composite Rate in effect for the
previous calendar quarter.  Such interest amount so determined shall be
credited monthly to such Participant's Account.

5.  Payment of Deferred Compensation.  

      (a)   The total amount standing as a credit in a Participant's
Account shall, upon termination of employment, be payable to the
Participant either in a lump sum or in periodic installments over such
period,  not exceeding ten years, as the Participant shall have selected
pursuant to Section 3(f)(iii).  Such periodic payments shall begin or
the lump sum payment shall be made, as the case may be, from the
Participant's Accounts, at such time, not more than twelve (12) months
after the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company, as the
Participant shall have selected pursuant to Section 3 (f)(iii)  at the
time of entering the Plan.  All amounts payable in accordance with this
Section 5(a) shall be subject to applicable federal, state and/or local
payroll withholding taxes then in effect.

      (b)   The amount of each installment payable to a Participant
shall be determined by dividing the balance of such Participant's
Account by the number of periodic installments (including the current
installment) remaining to be paid.  Until a Participant's Account has
been completely distributed, the balance thereof remaining, from time to
time, shall bear interest on a monthly basis calculated as provided  in
Section 4(b).
                                                                         
      (c)   In the event a Participant dies prior to receiving payment
of the entire amount in that Participant's Account, the unpaid balance
shall be paid to such beneficiary as the Participant may have designated
in writing to the Vice President, Human Resources, of the Company as the
beneficiary to receive any such post-death distribution under the Plan
or, in the absence of such written designation, to the Participant's
legal representative or to the beneficiary designated in the
Participant's last will as the one to receive such distributions. 
Distributions subsequent to the death of a Participant may be made
either in a lump sum or in periodic installments in such amounts and
over such period, not exceeding ten years from the date of death, as the
Committee may direct and the amount of each installment shall be
computed as provided in Section 5(b). 

<PAGE>

6.  Acceleration of Payments.  The Committee may accelerate the
distribution of part or all of a Participant's Account for reasons of
severe financial hardship.  For purposes of the Plan, severe financial
hardship shall be deemed to exist in the event the Committee determines
that a Participant needs a distribution to meet immediate and heavy
financial needs resulting from a sudden or unexpected illness or
accident of the Participant or a member of the Participant's family,
loss of the Participant's property due to casualty, or other similar
extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstance arising as a result of
events beyond the control of the Participant.  A distribution based on
financial hardship shall not exceed the amount required to meet the
immediate financial need created by the hardship. 

7.  Non-assignability.  None of the rights or interests in a
Participant's Account shall, at any time prior to actual payment or
distribution pursuant to the Plan, be assignable or transferable in
whole or in part, either voluntarily or by operation of law or
otherwise, and such rights and interest shall not be subject to payment
of debts by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge, bankruptcy
or in any other manner; provided that, upon the occurrence of any such
assignment or transfer or the attempted assignment or transfer, all
payments under Section 5 shall be payable in the sole and unrestricted
judgment and discretion of the Committee, as to time and amount
(including a lump sum amount), and shall be distributable to the person
who would have received the payment but for this Section 7 only at such
time or times and in such amounts as the Committee, from time to time,
and in its sole and unrestricted judgment and discretion, shall
determine.  Should an event covered by this Section 7 occur prior to the
death of a Participant, the balance, if any, in the Participant's
Account shall, after such death, be thereafter distributed as provided
in Section 5(c) subject to the provisions of this Section 7.

8.  Plan to be Unfunded.  The Company shall be under no obligation to
segregate or reserve any funds or other assets for purposes relating to
the Plan and, except as set forth in this Plan, no Participant shall
have any rights whatsoever in or with respect to any funds or other
assets held by the Company for purposes of the Plan or otherwise.  Each
Participant's Account maintained for purposes of the Plan merely
constitutes a bookkeeping entry on records of the Company, constitutes
the unsecured promise and obligation of the Company to make payments as
provided herein, and shall not constitute any allocation whatsoever of
any cash or other assets of the Company or be deemed to create any trust
or special deposit with respect to any of the Company's assets. 

<PAGE>

9.  Amendment.  The Board of Directors of the Company may, from time to 
time, amend or terminate the Plan, provided that no such amendment or
termination of the Plan shall adversely affect a Participant's Account
as it existed immediately before such amendment or termination or the
manner of distribution thereof, unless such Participant shall have
consented thereto in writing.  Any reduction in the quarterly interest
rate set forth in Section 4(b), by amendment to the Plan, shall affect
only contributions made to the Plan for calendar years subsequent to the
adoption of the amendment. The balance in a Participant's Account prior
to the effective date of any such interest rate reduction shall continue
to bear interest at the rate in effect prior to any such reduction in
interest rate.  Notice of any amendment or termination of the Plan shall
be given promptly to all Participants.

   10.  Plan Implementation.  This Plan is adopted and effective on the
25th day of July, 1994 as amended on June 17, 1995.
