Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lubricating composition containing (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity, (b) a star polymer and (c) a substantially linear polymer with a weight average molecular weight of 45,000 or less. The invention further provides a method of lubricating a mechanical device, typically a manual transmission with the lubricating composition. The invention further provides for the use of the lubricating composition to provide a number of benefits including lower operating temperatures and fuel economy.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of lubricating a transmission which includes a synchronizer with a non-metallic surface, the method comprising supplying thereto a lubricant comprising: (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) an alkaline earth metal detergent; and (c) a non-aromatic carboxylic acid or a salt thereof having 8 to 24 carbon atoms.

Abstract:
A lubricant composition of 40 to 95% of an oil having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 3 to 7.5; 0.3 to 2% of an amine salt of a phosphorus compound obtained by reacting phosphorus pentasulfide with one or more alcohols having 4 to about 13, or 4 to 8, or 6, carbon atoms, with an alkylene oxide, and further with phosphorus pentoxide, and salting the resulting material with one or more amines having 2 to 20 or 12 to 24 carbon atoms; and an active-sulfur containing agent in an amount to provide 0.5 to 7% sulfur to the composition provides good wear protection to gears at a relatively low viscosity of the composition.
Abstract:
A lubricant comprising (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; and (b) an overbased, carbonated calcium arylsulfonate detergent having a total base number (TBN) of at least about 640 as calculated on an oil-free basis effectively lubricates the surfaces in the synchronizer of a manual transmission.
