Power transmission fluids exhibiting improved antiwear properties containing a novel antiwear additive formed by reacting elemental sulfur and a dialkyl phosphite in the presence of an acylated amine compound. Also present in the fluid are dispersant, friction modifier, antioxidant and viscosity modifier.

Power transmission fluids with improved extreme pressure lubrication characteristics and oxidation resistance

Process for making sulfur boron antiwear agents for lubricating

A modified SAE No. 2 friction machine is used to evaluate the clutch friction properties of motorcycle lubricants in a process comprising measuring the torque after a break-in period at three temperature points within the ranges 30.degree.-60.degree. C., 70.degree.-90.degree. C. and 110.degree.-150.degree. C. over a 10 second period while the speed of the motor driving the clutch plates varies from 0-300 rpm and the clutch plate pressure is held at 50 psi.

Clutch friction test for motorcycle lubricants

The present invention generally pertains to a power transmission fluid composition comprising: (a) a major amount of lubricating oil; (b) an oil soluble phosphorus compound; (c) an ashless dispersant; and (d) an amine (i.e., alkyl primary amine) having the following Structure I:

Sulfur boron antiwear agents for lubricating compositions

A method of increasing the static coefficient of friction of an oleaginous composition, such as an ATF, comprising adding to a major portion of an oil of lubricating viscosity a friction increasing amount of an oil soluble friction increasing reaction product comprising (a) an oil soluble substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated, branched hydrocarbyl group containing from about 12 to about 50 total carbon atoms, (b) a linking group, and (c) a nitrogen-containing polar group, wherein the polar group contains at least one nitrogen atom and, optionally, contains at least one atom selected from the group consisting of boron, oxygen and sulfur atoms, and wherein the polar group is linked to the branched hydrocarbyl group through the linking group.

Method for increasing the static coefficient of friction in oleaginous

The frictional durability of lubricating oils, including power transmitting fluids and in particular automatic transmission fluids, are improved by incorporating a combination of low potency friction modifiers, ashless and/or metal-containing antioxidants, and oil-soluble phosphorus-containing compounds.

Lubricating oils of improved friction durability

The anti-shudder durability of power transmitting fluids, particularly automatic transmission fluids, is improved by incorporating a combination of low potency friction modifiers, alkyl phosphites, specific ashless dispersants and a corrosion inhibitor. The anti-shudder durability of these fluids may be further enhanced by inclusion of a metallic detergent.
