  • VAPOR PHASE CORROSION INHIBITION
    Publication number: 20210230496
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to the inhibition of corrosion on electrically conductive componentry subjected to a lubricant composition, but that is not submersed in the lubricant composition, or in other words, vapor phase corrosion inhibition. The technology more particularly relates to the use of azole compounds capable of inhibiting corrosion of the electrically conductive componentry in the vapor space above a lubricant composition, and often in the liquid phase of the lubricant composition as well.

  • Lubricating Composition Containing Viscosity Modifier Combination
    Publication number: 20160145524
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lubricating composition containing (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity, (b) a star polymer and (c) a substantially linear polymer with a weight average molecular weight of 45,000 or less. The invention further provides a method of lubricating a mechanical device, typically a manual transmission with the lubricating composition. The invention further provides for the use of the lubricating composition to provide a number of benefits including lower operating temperatures and fuel economy.

  • Method of Lubricating a Manual Transmission
    Publication number: 20120302479
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of lubricating a driveline device comprising supplying to the driveline device a lubricating composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity and an aromatic hydroxy-substituted compound. The invention further provides for the use of the lubricating composition comprising the aromatic hydroxy-substituted compound as at least one of a filterability aid, and a wax crystal growth modifier/gelation inhibitor in the driveline device.
