  • Transmission fluid compositions for hybrid and electric vehicle applications
    Patent number: 11905488
    Abstract: A transmission fluid composition contains a major amount of a lubricating oil basestock, and a minor amount of an additive package comprising: (i) a mixture comprising two or more phosphites and/or phosphates; (ii) one or more thioester compounds; (iii) a detergent comprising calcium salicylate; and (iv) a poly(alkylene amine)-based ashless dispersant endcapped with metallocene-catalyzed PAO arms. Such a transmission fluid may be used for controlling/reducing wear in at least partially electrically-powered transmissions and/or for cooling/insulating electrical/electronic components of at least partially electrically-powered drivetrains.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 16, 2020
    Date of Patent: February 20, 2024
    Assignee: Infineum International Limited

  • Boron-containing lubricating oils having improved friction stability
    Patent number: 8623797
    Abstract: Lubricating oil compositions having excellent friction stability comprise a base lubricating oil, an oil soluble source of phosphorus and a defined polyalkylene polyamine-based friction modifier that has been reacted with a borating agent to convert at least one secondary amine group into the corresponding boric acid ester or boric acid salt.
