Abstract

There is disclosed herein an additive composition including a compound of formula (III): wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , and R 9 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, cyano, and hydrocarbyl groups comprising from about 1 to about 30 carbon atoms.

Claims (23)

1. A lubricant composition comprising:

a base oil; and

at least one of a compound of formulae (II), (Ill), (V), and (VI):

wherein n is an integer from 2 to 5; and

wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 , R 10 , and R 11 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, cyano, and hydrocarbyl groups comprising from about 1 to about 30 carbon atoms.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein at least one of a compound of formulae (II), (III), (V), and (VI) is present in the lubricant composition in an amount ranging from about 0.25 wt. % to about 50 wt. % relative to the total weight of the lubricant composition.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the base oil is chosen from mineral and synthetic oils.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the base oil is a gas-to-liquid base oil.

5. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising at least one additive chosen from antiwear agents, dispersants, diluents, defoamers, demulsifiers, anti-foam agents, corrosion inhibitors, extreme pressure agents, antioxidants, pour point depressants, seal swell agents, rust inhibitors, and friction modifiers.

6. A method of manufacturing a lubricant composition comprising blending a base oil and an additive composition comprising a compound of formula (III):

wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , and R 9 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, cyano, and hydrocarbyl groups comprising from about 1 to about 30 carbon atoms.

7. A method of lubricating an automotive gear comprising using as the lubricant the lubricant composition of claim 1 .

8. A method of improving antiwear protection in an automotive gear comprising placing a lubricant composition according to claim 1 in the automotive gear.

9. A method of improving thermal stability in an automotive gear comprising placing a lubricant composition according to claim 1 in the automotive gear.

10. A method of lubricating an axle comprising using as the lubricant the lubricant composition of claim 1 .

11. A method of improving antiwear protection in an axle comprising placing a lubricant composition according to claim 1 in the axle.

12. A method of improving thermal stability in an axle comprising placing a lubricant composition according to claim 1 in the axle.

13. A method of lubricating a stationary gearbox comprising using as the lubricant the lubricant composition of claim 1 .

14. A method of improving antiwear protection in a stationary gearbox comprising placing a lubricant composition according to claim 1 in the stationary gearbox.

15. A method of improving thermal stability in a stationary gearbox comprising placing a lubricant composition according to claim 1 in the stationary gearbox.

16. A method of passing ASTM D6121 with lubrited and nonlubrited gear sets comprising lubricating a gear with a lubricant composition according to claim 1 .

17. A method of passing ASTM D6121 with nonlubrited gear sets at least about 325° F. for at least about 16 hours comprising lubricating a gear with a lubricant composition according to claim 1 .

18. A method of maintaining GL-5 and/or SAE J2360 performance comprising lubricating a gear with a lubricant composition according to claim 1 .
