  • 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
    Inventors: Matthew Cunningham, Maria C. Chiappelli, Joe R. Noles, Jr., Kerry L. Cogen, Keith R. Gorda, Hahnsoo Kim, Raymond F. Watts, Laura A. Kahsar

  • Patent number: 10781393
    Abstract: A lubricating oil composition comprises a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and a minor amount of an unsymmetrical bis-succinimide, or a mixture of unsymmetrical bis-succinimides, of the structure (I): wherein one of R1 and R2 is a polyisobutylene group having a weight average molecular weight of 400 to 5,000, as determined by GPC with reference to linear polystyrene standards, and the other of R1 and R2 is a hydrocarbon group made by the metallocene-catalysed polymerisation of an ?-olefin feedstock; and x is from 1 to 10 and is the same for all molecules of structure (I), or an average of all molecules of structure (I) in a mixture of molecules of structure (I).

  • Patent number: 10711219
    Abstract: An automatic transmission fluid comprises a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and minor amounts of (a) one or more oil-soluble or dispersible molybdenum-containing compounds, and (b) a reaction product of an isomerized alkenyl-substituted succinic anhydride and a polyamine characterized by structure (II): In structure (II) x and y are independently zero or integers from 1 to 30, where x+y is from 1 to 30, and z is zero or an integer from 1 to 10.
