Abstract: Methods for improving the anti-friction and wear-reducing properties of lubricating oils by adding to such oils polyfluoro chain-containing amines of the formula ##STR1## or the commercially available mixtures of such materials, wherein n is an integer from 1 to 20, a is two or four, R.sub.2 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group, and R.sub.1 and Z are:When Z is hydrogen, R.sub.1 is hydrogen or an alkyl group having from one to six carbon atoms, an aryl radical, or an alicyclic radical having from three to ten carbon atoms, orR.sub.1 and Z are selected from alkyl radicals having from one to six carbon atoms, orZ is ##STR2## while R.sub.1 is hydrogen, an alkyl group having from one to six carbon atoms, or ##STR3## R and R' being hydrogen or methyl, or R.sub.1 and Z together form a linear alkylene group containing from three to ten carbon atoms,and lubricating oils containing such polyfluoro chain-containing amines and "ash-free" or organometallic dispersant/detergent additives.
