The present invention relates to a lubricating composition containing (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; and (b) a compound selected from the group consisting of: (i) an ester-containing heterocycle; (ii) an amide-containing heterocycle; and (iii) a pyrimidine, wherein the ester-containing heterocycle and the amide-containing heterocycle have a hydrocarbyl group containing 6 to 40 carbon atoms. The invention further provides for a method of supplying an internal combustion engine with the lubricating composition.

Composition containing heterocyclic compounds and a method of lubricating an internal combustion engine

The present Invention relates to the use of a compound in a lubricating composition as an engine oil antiwear and/or extreme pressure agent, wherein the compound is a heterocycle having a hydrocarbyl group containing 6 to 40 carbon atoms, wherein the heterocycle is either (i) a heterocycle compound having a functional group selected from the group consisting of at least one of an ester, an amide, a salt and an acid, or (ii) a pyrimidine.

A liquid extreme pressure agent for use in lubricating compositions where the lubricating compositions comprise an oil of lubricating viscosity and the reaction product of: (a) a thiazole; (b) a composition comprising a carboxylic acid, a phosphorus containing acid or salt, or combinations thereof; and (c) an amine containing one or more branched hydrocarbyl groups. The invention also provides an additive composition comprising the reaction product described above and a process for making lubricating compositions, including greases, from the reaction product.

Liquid extreme pressure additive

The present invention relates to a lubricating composition containing an alkali metal borate. The invention further provides for a method of lubricating a device with grease or a metalworking fluid by employing the lubricating composition containing the alkali metal borate.

Alkali metal borate and lubricating compositions thereof

A composition suitable for use as a lubricant for a transmission includes an oil of lubricating viscosity; a dispersant; a calcium detergent; a magnesium detergent; and an inorganic phosphorus compound. At least one of the dispersant or detergent components is borated.

Continuously variable transmission fluids comprising a combination of calcium-and magnesium-overbased detergents

Compositions comprising (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMTD), a derivative of DMTD, or mixtures thereof; (c) a friction modifier; and (d) a dispersant, are useful for lubricating a transmission having a plurality of wet clutches and a plurality of partial power transmission shafts, wherein shifting of gears occurs by a process comprising synchronization of an engaged and a non-engaged partial transmission shaft and engagement of a wet clutch.

Lubricant for dual clutch transmission

Continuously variable transmission can be lubricated by supplying to them a composition of (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) a dispersant; and (c) a detergent. At least one of the dispersant (b) and the detergent (c) is a borated species, and the amount of boron present in the composition is sufficient to impart improved friction and anti-seizure properties to the composition when employed in said transmission.

High boron formulations for fluids continuously variable transmissions

A lubricating/functional fluid composition which exhibits in use improved antiwear and antifoaming properties. The improvements result from use of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole and derivatives thereof together with silicone and/or fluorosilicone antifoam agents.

Lubrication fluids for reduced air entrainment and improved gear protection

A composition comprising of an oil of lubricating viscosity; a shear stable viscosity modifier; at least 0.1 percent by weight of an overbased metal salt; at least 0.1 percent by weight of at least one phosphorus compound; and 0.1 to 0.25 percent by weight of a combination of at least two friction modifiers provides an improved fluid for continuously variable transmissions. At least one of the friction modifiers is selected from the group consisting of zinc salts of fatty acids having at least 10 carbon atoms, hydrocarbyl imidazolines containing at least 12 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbyl group, and borated epoxides. The total amount of the friction modifiers is limited to those amounts which provide a metal-to-metal coefficient of friction of at least about 0.120 as measured at 110.degree. C. by ASTM-G-77.
