Abstract: An antiwear/extreme pressure composition is disclosed that comprises a metal overbased amine of the structureR.sup.1 R.sup.2 NH(MA).sub.xwherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each independently hydrogen, or a hydrocarbyl group, amino-substituted hydrocarbyl group, hydroxy-substituted hydrocarbyl group, alkoxy-substituted hydrocarbyl group or amino groups wherein the hydrocarbyl group contains from 4 to 50 carbon atoms, provided that R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are not both hydrogen, M is a metal, A is carbonate, sulfite, sulfate, thiosulfate, phosphite, phosphate, or mixtures thereof, and x has a value of from 1.1 to 40;wherein said metal overbased amine is reacted with carbon disulfide to form a sulfur derivative of a metal overbased amine, an epoxide followed by phosphorus pentoxide to form a phosphorus derivative of a metal overbased amine or wherein the sulfur derivative is further reacted with an epoxide followed by phosphorus pentoxide to form a sulfur and phosphorus derivative of a metal overbased amine.

Abstract: Oil-based functional fluid compositions formulated for use as automatic transmission fluid, fluid for a wet brake system, or a friction-depending lubricant are improved by including in the composition a minor amount of at least one alcohol or polyol having less than 12 carbon atoms in the molecule. This results in a desirable increase in the dynamic and/or static coefficients of friction of automatic transmission or other frictional surfaces contacted by the composition. Preferred for this use is a composition formed by heating at least one ashless dispersant containing basic nitrogen and/or at least one hydroxyl group with a combination of at least (i) an inorganic acid of phosphorus, (ii) a boron compound, and (iii) a polyol having less than 12 carbon atoms, so that a liquid composition is formed. The boron compound and the inorganic phosphorus acid are preferably co-present during the heating.

Abstract: Multifunctional molybdenum compounds, which are the reactive product of molybdenum dithiocarbamates and metal dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphates, are new compositions which are useful as lubricant additives. They impart to the lubricant formulations to which they are added low friction and excellent wear properties at reduced phosphorous concentrations.

Abstract: In a motor vehicle, especially a heavy duty motor vehicle, having a transmission equipped with at least one cone-type synchronizer and an axle or differential gearing, the same lubricant is used for both such mechanisms. The lubricant has a viscosity grade level of from SAE 75W90 to SAE 85W140 and comprises base oil containing at least (i) Mannich base ashless dispersant; (ii) metal-free, sulphur-containing antiwear and/or extreme pressure agent; (iii) metal-free, phosphorus-containing and nitrogen-containing antiwear and/or extreme pressure agent; and (iv) overbased alkali or alkaline earth metal carboxylate, sulphonate or sulphurized phenate having a TBN of at least 145. The lubricant contains at most, if any, 100 ppm of metal as one or more metal-containing additive components other than (iv).
