Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of lubricating a limited slip differential comprising supplying to the limited slip differential a lubricating composition containing (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity, and (b) a C4-30-diester of a dicarboxylic acid. The invention further provides for the use of the C4-30-diester of a dicarboxylic acid as a friction modifier, typically in a limited slip differential.
Abstract:
A lubricant composition of an oil, a dispersant viscosity modifier of a poly(meth)acrylate copolymer having a nitrogen-containing monomer in an amount to provide at least about 0.4 percent by weight nitrogen to the copolymer, and a succinimide dispersant prepared in the substantial absence of chlorine gives good performance as a transmission fluid.

Abstract:
A lubricant containing (a) a synthetic base oil composition having an overall kinematic viscosity of at least about 4.8x10 -6 m 2 /s (4.8 cSt) at 100 o C and a viscosity index of at least about 110; (b) a dispersant-viscosity modifier; and (c) a sulfur-free functionalized hydrocarbyl-substituted phenol detergent provides improved valve train wear, with longer drain intervals, to heavy duty diesel engines.
Abstract:
The disclosed technology relates to a heat transfer fluid and a heat transfer system and heat transfer method employing the heat transfer fluid. In particular, the technology relates to a heat transfer fluid with low electrical conductivity, low flammability, and low freeze point that provides excellent peak temperature reduction in a heat transfer system, such as that for cooling a power system of an electric vehicle or computer electronics.
Abstract:
A zinc free or substantially zinc free lubricant having a sulfated ash content of less than about 1.0 percent and including (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) 0.03 to about 3.0 weight percent of a phosphite compound; (c) an metal containing detergent; (d) a polyisobutylene succinimide dispersant derived from an ethylene polyamine and having a carbonyl to nitrogen ratio equal or greater than 1; (e) at least one other dispersant; (f) a boron containing compound in amount to provide at least 25 ppm boron to the lubricant composition is useful for inhibiting siloxane deposits in a stationary gas engine fueled by natural gas having a high silicon concentration.
Abstract:
The disclosed invention relates to a functional fluid comprising: at least one oil of lubricating viscosity; at least one detergent, the detergent contributing an amount of metal to the functional fluid equal to a concentration in the range from about 0.015 to about 1% by weight of the functional fluid, the detergent contributing an amount of basicity to the functional fluid equal to a total base number in the range from about 0.3 to about 2; and at least one friction modifier, the friction modifier comprising at least two hydrocarbyl groups attached to a polar group or atom (eg., a nitrogen atom).
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of an emulsified fuel in combination with an engine oil that shows a synergistic effect in reducing emissions such as particulate matter, hydrocarbons and/or nitrogen oxides (NO, NO 2 , N 2 O, collectively NOx) and/or reducing wear from an engine.

Abstract:
Mixtures of friction modifiers provide excellent friction performance to transmission fluids, where the friction modifiers include an N-substituted oxalic acid bisamide or amide-ester containing at least two hydrocarbyl groups of 12 to 22 carbon atoms; and an amide or thioamide represented by R 1 R 2 N-C(X)R 3 where X is O or S, R 1 and R 2 are hydrocarbyl groups of at least 6 carbon atoms, and R 3 is hydroxyalkyl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a condensate thereof.
