Abstract
A transmission fluid composition contains a major amount of a lubricating oil basestock, and a minor amount of an additive package comprising: (i) a mixture comprising two or more phosphites and/or phosphates; (ii) one or more thioester compounds; (iii) one or more zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate compounds; and (iv) one or more oil-soluble or dispersible molybdenum-containing compounds. Such a transmission fluid may be used for controlling and/or reducing wear, e.g., in a manual transmission.
Claims20
A transmission fluid composition comprising:
- a major amount of a lubricating oil basestock;
- and
- a minor amount of an additive package comprising:
- (i) a mixture comprising two or more compounds of structures (I):
- where groups R1, R2 and R3 are independently alkyl groups having 1 to 18 carbon atoms or alkyl groups having 1 to 18 carbon atoms where the alkyl chain is interrupted by a thioether linkage, provided that, in the mixture (i), at least some of groups R1, R2 and R3 are alkyl groups having 1 to 18 carbon atoms where the alkyl chain is interrupted by a thioether linkage;
- (ii) one or more compounds of structures (II):
- R4—S—R5—O—R7
- R4—S—R5—O—R6—S—R7 (II)
- where groups R4 and R7 are independently alkyl groups having 1 to 12 carbon atoms and R5 and R6 are independently alkyl linkages having 2 to 12 carbon atoms;
- (iii) one or more zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate compounds;
- and
- (iv) one or more oil-soluble or dispersible molybdenum-containing compounds.
