Abstract: A fuel composition, a lubricant composition, and methods for reducing friction or wear of moving parts. The fuel composition includes gasoline and from about 10 to about 500 ppm by weight of a dialkylaminoalkanol of the formula R1(R2)NCH2CH(R3)R4. The lubricant composition includes base oil of lubricating viscosity and from about 0.05 to about 5.0 weight percent of a dialkylaminoalkanol of the formula R1(R2)NCH2CH(R3)R4. In the above formulas wherein R1 is an alkyl group or a hydroxy alkyl group containing from 8 to 50 carbon atoms; R2 is an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R3 is selected from H and OH; and R4 is selected from H, an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and CH2OH and wherein at least one of R3 and R4 contains a hydroxyl group and provided that when R1 is a hydroxyalkyl group, R3 is OH and R4 is CH2OH.

Abstract: A imidazoline concentrate, uses of the concentrate, and methods of increasing a storage stability of solutions containing the concentrate are disclosed. The concentrate may include a reaction product of a fatty acid, an alkylene polyamine, a hydrocarbyl succinic acid or anhydride, and an alkoxylated alkylphenol component. The concentrate may contain from about 2 to about 50 wt. % of the alkyphenol component.

Abstract: A fluid additive composition comprising a stabilizing-effective amount of at least one dispersant comprising greater than or equal to 50% of terminal vinylidene, wherein said at least one dispersant is a reaction product of at least one hydrocarbyl substituted acylating agent and at least one amine.

Abstract: There is provided a transmission composition including a lead corrosion reducing effective amount of at least one lead corrosion inhibitor selected from the group consisting of sulfurized alkylphenols; phosphosulfurized hydrocarbons; substituted or unsubstituted thiocarbamates; substituted or unsubstituted thiazoles; substituted or unsubstituted triazoles; substituted or unsubstituted thiadiazoles.

Abstract: There is provided a fluid composition including at least one hydroxy-substituted carboxylic acid. Also provided are methods of inhibiting at least one of corrosion and rust and of improving at least one of lubricity and lead compatibility. Also provided are lubricating, fuel, anticorrosion, antirust, and additive concentration compositions.
