Abstract: A homogeneous concentrate suitable for use as an additive for lubricating oils is formed from a long chain succinimide and a benzotriazole by heating a mixture of these materials in the presence of water or alkoxylated amines or dihydrocarbylphosphites or dihydrocarbyl phosphonates (or mixtures of such materials) and then distilling the volatile component, from the resulting product. When this heating step is conducted in the additional presence of a boronating agent such as boric acid and the volatile component, is removed by distillation, not only is a compatible additive concentrate formed, but the long chain succinimide is boronated in the process.

Abstract: Improved durability of shift-feel frictional characteristics in automotive transmission fluids is achieved by use of an initially substantially inert (friction-wise) compound--viz., an aliphatic tertiary amine having one long chain and two short chain groups--incorporated into a formulation which is otherwise balanced for initially good shift-feel frictional properties. When the fluid is subjected to the oxidative and thermal degradation conditions encountered under normal service conditions, the friction modifiers that give the fluid good initial shift-feel frictional properties degrade. However, as this occurs the aliphatic tertiary amine has itself been transformed by a mechanism that activates it so that in its new form it acquires the ability to provide good shift-feel properties. Thus this additive serves as a time-activated or delayed action substitute for the friction modifiers that have been degraded during service.

Abstract: Lubricating oils having improved antioxidant and anti-wear properties are obtained by adding a minor amount of a reaction product made by reacting at least one aliphatic olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbon containing from about 8 to 36 carbon atoms (preferably an .alpha.-olefin) concurrently with sulfur and at least one fatty acid ester (preferably an oil such as cottonseed oil) to obtain a reaction intermediate and reacting this intermediate with additional sulfur and a dimer of cyclopentadiene or lower C.sub.1-4 alkyl substituted cyclopentadiene dimers, such as methylcyclopentadiene dimer.

Abstract: Coking in and around the injector nozzles of indirect injection compression ignition engines is reduced by means of distillate fuel with which has been blended suitable concentration of:(a) organic nitrate ignition accelerator, and(b) the condensation product of a phenol, preferably a high molecular weight alkylphenol, and aldehyde and an amine having a H-N< group.Also described are additive mixtures of (a) and (b) for use in distillate fuels in amounts sufficient to reduce the coking tendencies of such fuels when used in the operation of indirect injection compression ignition engines.
