Claims
- 1. A lubricant composition comprising a major proportion of an oil of lubricating viscosity or grease prepared therefrom and a minor friction reducing proportion of a borated adduct of a compound having the following generalized structure: ##STR3## where R is a hydrocarbyl group containing from 10 to 30 carbon atoms, R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, alkaryl, where x is an integer from 1 to 10; where y is an integer from 1 to 10, and the sum of x and y is at least 2, and where x and y may be the same or different.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the additive compound is borated bis(2-hydroxyethyl) oleylamine.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein the additive compound is borated bis(2-hydroxyethyl) cocamine.
- 4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the additive compound is borated bis(2-hydroxyethyl) soyamine.
- 5. The composition of claim 1 wherein the additive compound is borated bis(2-hydroxyethyl) octadecylamine.
- 6. The composition of claim 1 having from 0.1 to 10 wt. % of the additive compound.
- 7. The composition of claim 6 having from 0.25 to 4 wt. % of the additive compound.
- 8. The composition of claim 1 wherein the oil of lubricating viscosity is a mineral or synthetic oil.
- 9. The composition of claim 8 wherein said oil is a mineral oil.
- 10. The composition of claim 8 wherein said oil is a synthetic oil.
- 11. The composition of claim 1 wherein said lubricant composition is a grease or other solid lubricant.
- 12. A method for reducing fuel consumption in an internal combustion engine by treating the moving surfaces thereof with a composition comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity containing a minor friction reducing or fuel reducing amount of an additive compound as described in claim 1.
