Abstract: A gear part of the present invention includes a lubrication coating formed on a surface of the gear part, the lubrication coating containing an organic phosphorous compound. In the gear part, when a tooth surface of the gear part is engaged with a tooth surface of a counter member, the organic phosphorous compound is transferred to the tooth surface of the counter member and another lubrication coating containing the organic phosphorous compound is formed on the tooth surface of the counter member. As a result, the lubrication coating can be held on the surface of the gear part for long periods.
Abstract: A lubricating oil composition reduces the adverse effects of oxidation in a medium speed diesel engine. That lubricating oil composition has a major amount of a base oil of lubricating viscosity, from 1% to 30% of a highly overbased oil-soluble sulfurized alkaline earth metal hydrocarbyl phenate-carboxylate and from 0.1% to 5% of a polyalkylene succinimide prepared by reacting under reactive conditions a mixture of an alkenyl or alkylsuccinic acid derivative, an unsaturated acidic reagent copolymer of an unsaturated acidic reagent and an olefin, and a polyamine. When that lubricating oil composition has 0.1% to 2% of a physical mixture of from 20% to 90% of a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate derived from only primary alkyl alcohols, and from 10% to 80% of a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate derived from only secondary alkyl alcohols, the lubricating oil composition is useful for increasing the water tolerance of a medium speed diesel engine that are susceptible to water contamination.

Abstract: Lubricants and additive packages that give exceptional performance as heavy duty gear lubricants are described. Four essential oil-soluble additive components are used in combination, viz., a metal-free sulfur-containing antiwear and/or extreme pressure agent having a copper corrosion test activity of not more than 65; a metal-free phosphorus- and nitrogen-containing antiwear and/or extreme pressure agent; an organic carboxylic acid; and an organic amine. Tests comparing the performance of the invention against a commercial premium API GL-5 gear oil additive package selected as the best available package by a well-known OEM have shown the superiority of the present compositions under a number of test conditions.
