BORATE CONTAINING ADDITIVE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION LUBRICANT BEING STABLE TO HYDROLYSIS AND PROVIDING HIGH SYNCHROMESH DURABILITY

摘要

The high synchromesh durability performance and gear protection of a manual transmission gear box is provided by adding to gear box a lubricating oil composition having improved water stability and oxidation control. That lubricating oil composition comprises a base oil of lubricating viscosity, an alkali-metal borate, an organic polysulfide, an alkyl succinic acid ester of a polyol, and an overbased sulfurized alkyl or alkenyl salicylate.
