Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

         c.       Exhibits

                  99.1     The Lubrizol Corporation News Release dated
                           October 21, 2003.

Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

         A copy of the news release of The Lubrizol Corporation dated October
         21, 2003 announcing the Company's results for the three months ended
         September 30, 2003, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report
         on Form 8-K/A.

         The Company believes that disclosure of earnings per share data
         excluding the current year restructuring charge and the effect of the
         prior year accounting change is useful to investors because it depicts
         operating results excluding these items and may provide the investor
         with a better base from which to make future projections.




                                    SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
