Abstract: Polyalkylene amine coupled heterocyclic compounds are effective multifunctional additives, providing cleanliness to fuels and lubricants as well as anti-wear, friction-modifying, thermal and oxidative stabilizing properties. The beneficial effects of the product of the instant invention apparently result from an internal synergism between the polyalkylene amine groups and the heterocyclic groups.

Abstract: The invention relates to lubricant and fuel additives having antiwear and friction reducing properties. The invention also relates to compositions of oils with viscosities appropriate for lubricants, greases produced therefrom, and fuels and methods for making these compositions. Described in this invention are products of nitrogen heterocycles, such as benzotriazole and tolyltriazole, with amines, such as alkyl amines, aliphatic diamines, alicyclic amines, heterocyclic amines, propylene amines, and aliphatic etheramines, that are linked using carbonyl compounds (e.g., aldehyde, ketone or glyoxal). Additionally, products generated by the reaction of carboxylic acids or carboxylic acid generating compounds (e.g., salts or esters) with carbonyl (e.g., aldehyde, ketone or glyoxal) coupled nitrogen heterocycles and amines, including those described above, are also included in this invention. These products can be used in fuels and lubricants to produce improved antiwear and friction reducing properties.

Abstract: A polymeric lubricant additive that behaves as a viscosity index improver and imparts enhanced anti-oxidancy, dispersancy, and anti-wear properties to said lubricant oil has been prepared. The polymeric substrate is a random co- or terpolymer of ethylene propylene and a third monomer; or a block terpolymer of styrene--ethylenebutylene--styrene where hydrogenation has removed aliphatic unsaturation.Ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or acid anhydride is grafted to these aforementioned substrates and imidized with amino-thiadiazole of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is H.sub.2 or a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.10) alkyl radical selected from the group consisting of a alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxyl, aralkyl, alkaryl, hydroxyalkyl and aminoalkyl, to produce said polymeric lubricant additive.
