  • Publication number: 20020183210
    Abstract: Continuously variable transmissions are lubricated by supplying to the transmission a composition of an oil of lubricating viscosity and an oil-soluble zinc salt containing at least one hydrocarbyl group of at least 4 carbon atoms. The amount of the zinc salt is sufficient to provide an increased steel-on-steel dynamic coefficient of friction for the composition, being at least 0.125. The composition is substantially free from thiophosphate salts and exhibits a copper corrosion rating of 1B or better (ASTM-130).

  • Publication number: 20020137639
    Abstract: Disclosed is a grease sealed bearing for automobile that has the high temperature resistance as well as shear stability, and prevents the noise at low temperature as well as the brittle flaking under high speed rotation and high load. The grease comprises a base oil containing a synthesized hydrocarbon oil and one or more ester oils at a weight ratio of 0.1 to 0.49:0.9 to 0.51; 5 to 30% by weight of a urea based thickener, and 0.1 to 10% by weight of dithiozinc phosphate based on the whole grease. The grease sealed bearing for automobile is obtained by sealing a bearing used in a device driven by an automobile engine with the grease.
