Embodiments of the present disclosure directed towards synthetic lubricant compositions. In various embodiments, the present disclosure provides a synthetic lubricant compositions including an aromatic amine antioxidant comprising 0.25 to 5 weight percent of a total weight of the synthetic lubricant composition, dithiocarbamate antioxidant comprising 0.25 to 5 weight percent of the total weight of the synthetic lubricant composition, and a polyalkylene glycol PAG comprising 99.25 to 85 weight percent of the total weight of the synthetic lubricant composition, where the synthetic lubricant composition has a total acidic number (TAN) increase of 2 milligrams of potassium hydroxide per gram of the synthetic lubricant composition over 27 days or greater as measured in accordance with modified ASTM D-664, and where the synthetic lubricant composition does not include any of a Group I, II, III, IV base oil.
