1 TO 7 AND COMPARATIVE EXAMPLES 1 TO 10

[0170] Transmission fluid compositions for automobiles of the present invention (Examples 1 to 7) and those for comparison (Comparative Examples 1 to 10) were prepared using a hydrogenated refined mineral oil as a base oil in accordance with the formulations shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively.

[0171] LFW-1 friction test was conducted for each of the compositions in accordance with the test conditions prescribed in ASTM D2714 to measure the frictional force at each slipping velocities thereby determining the friction coefficient.

Abstract

A transmission fluid composition for automobiles comprises a lubricating base oil, (A) an oil-soluble metal salt overbased with a specific alkaline earth metal borate, and (B) a sulfur-containing extreme pressure additive. The transmission fluid can enhance a metallic friction coefficient, leading to the achievement of improved transmission torque.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to transmission fluid compositions for automobiles and more specifically to those which can be used advantageously for automatic transmissions, particularly for metal belt-type continuously variable transmissions.[0002] Recently, metal belt-type continuously variable transmissions have been spotlighted as automobile transmission because their energy loss by shifting is small. The transmissions of this type have a mechanism which transmits torque by friction between a metal belt and a pair of metal pulleys looped therearound and conducts gear shift by changing the radius ratio of the pulleys. Therefore, it is extremely important that a lubricating oil used for such metal belt-type continuously variable transmissions has capabilities of increasing the friction coefficient between the metal belt and the pulleys. Furthermore, such a lubricating oil is also required to have capabilities as a lubricating oil for gears taking out torque and bearings sup...
