  • any effective amount of the amine/amide and ester/alcohol friction modifier additives can be incorporated into the lubricating oil composition, it is contemplated that such effective amount be sufficient to provide said lube composition with an amount of the amine/amide friction modifier additive of typically from 0.01 to 2, and preferably from 0.2 to 0.5 wt.%, based on the weight of said composition, and with an amount of ester/alcohol friction modifier additive typically from 0.01 to 2, and preferably from 0.2 to 0.5 wt.%.

  • the friction modifier additives of the present invention can be incorporated into the lubricating oil in any convenient way. Thus, they can be added directly to the oil by dispersing, or dissolving the same in the oil at the desired level of concentration typically with the aid of a suitable solvent such as toluene, or tetrahydrofuran. Such blending can occur at room temperature or elevated temperatures.
  • the friction modifier additives may be blended with a suitable oil-soluble solvent and base oil to form a concentrate, and then blending the concentrate with lubricating oil base stock to obtain the final formulation. Concentrates will typically contain from 20 to 80 wt.%, and preferably 20 to 60 wt.%, by weight of the blended friction modifier additives, and typically from 80 to 20%, preferably from 60 to 20% by weight base oil, based on the concentrate weight.
  • the lubricating oil base stock for the friction modifier additive blend of the present invention typically is adapted to perform a selected function by the incorporation of additives therein to form lubricating oil compositions (i.e., formulations).
  • Representative additives typically present in such formulations include dispersants, viscosity modifiers, corrosion inhibitors, oxidation inhibitors, other friction modifiers, anti-foaming agents, anti-wear agents, pour point depressants and the like.
  • Viscosity modifiers impart high and low temperature operability to the lubricating oil and permit it to remain shear stable at elevated temperatures and also exhibit acceptable viscosity or fluidity at low temperatures.
  • Viscosity modifiers are generally high molecular weight hydrocarbon polymers including polyesters.
  • the viscosity modifiers may also be derivatized to include other properties or functions, such as the addition of dispersancy properties.

  • corrosion inhibitors are zinc dialkyldithiophosphate, phosphosulfurized hydrocarbons and the products obtained by reaction of a phosphosulfurized hydrocarbon with an alkaline earth metal oxide or hydroxide, preferably in the presence of an alkylated phenol or of an alkylphenol thioester, and also preferably in the presence of carbon dioxide.
  • Phosphosulfurized hydrocarbons are prepared by reacting a suitable hydrocarbon such as a terpene, a heavy petroleum fraction of a C2 to C6 olefin polymer such as polyisobutylene, with from 5 to 30 wt.% of a sulfide of phosphorus for 1/2 to 15 hours, at a temperature in the range of 65° (18.3°C) to 320°F (160°C).
  • Neutralization of the phosphosulfurized hydrocarbon may be effected in the manner taught in U.S. Patent No. 1,969,324.
  • Oxidation inhibitors reduce the tendency of mineral oils to deteriorate in service which deterioration is evidenced by the products of oxidation such as sludge and varnish-like deposits on the metal surfaces.
  • oxidation inhibitors include alkaline earth metal salts of alkylphenolthioethers having preferably C5 to C12 alkyl side chains, e.g., calcium nonylphenol sulfide, barium t-octylphenyl sulfide, dioctylphenylamine, phenylalphanaphthylamine, phosphosulfurized or sulfurized hydrocarbons, etc.
  • Suitable additional friction modifiers which may be added to the lubricating oil formulations are well known in the art.

S. Patent No. 4,344,853.
  • Dispersants maintain oil insolubles, resulting from oxidation during use, in suspension in the fluid thus preventing sludge flocculation and precipitation or deposition on metal parts.
  • Suitable dispersants include high molecular weight polyalkenyl succinimides, e.g., the reaction product of oil-soluble polyisobutylene succinic anhydride with ethylene amines such as tetraethylene pentamine and borated salts thereof.
  • Pour point depressants lower the temperature at which the fluid will flow or can be poured.
  • Such depressants are well known.
  • those additives which usefully optimize the low temperature fluidity of the fluid are C8-C18 dialkylfumarate vinyl acetate copolymers, polymethacrylates, and wax naphthalene.
  • Foam control can be provided by an antifoamant of the polysiloxane type, e.g., silicone oil and polydimethyl siloxane.
  • Anti-wear agents reduce wear of metal parts.
  • Representatives of conventional anti-wear agents are zinc dialkyldithiophosphate, zinc diaryldithiosphate and magnesium sulfonate.
  • compositions when containing these conventional additives are typically blended into the base oil in amounts which are effective to provide their normal attendant function.

Dissolution of the additive concentrate into the lubricating oil may be facilitated by solvents and by mixing accompanied with mild heating, but this is not essential.
