Abstract:
Lubricating oil compositions comprise one or more polytetrahydrofuranes that are prepared by alkoxylating polytetrahydrofurane with at least one C8-C30 epoxy alkane.
Abstract:
Provided are polyalkoxylates that are prepared by alkoxylating polytetrahydrofurane with butylene oxide for use in lubricant compositions and/or for reducing friction in a driveline.
Abstract:
An axle lubricating oil composition includes a polyalphaolefin having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of from 2 to 40 cSt when measured in accordance with ASTM D445. The axle lubricating oil composition also includes an alkoxylated polytetrahydrofuran of general formula (II). The alkoxylated polytetrahydrofuran of general formula (II) is present in an amount of from 10 to 40 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the axle lubricating oil composition.
