Abstract
Mixtures of the reaction product of at least one C -C carboxylic acid and at least one amine selected from the group consisting of guanidine, aminoguanidine, urea, thioruea and salts thereof and a phosphorus-containing dispersant are useful as gear oil additives. Lubricant formulations containing said mixtures exhibit excellent low and high temperature rheology and are particularly suited for use in automotive and industrial gear applications. Lubricants of the present invention exhibit improved performance properties such as increased axle efficiencies and lower axle temperatures compared to lubricant formulations that do not contain said mixtures.
