Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 23 words
An automatic transmission fluid according to claim 1 in which said zinc di(C6 15 alkylphenoxypolyalkoxyalkyl) dithiophosphate is a zinc di(C6 15 alkylphenoxyethyl) dithiophosphate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 21 words
An automatic transmission fluid according to claim 1 in which said zinc di(C6 15 alkylphenoxypolyalkoxyalkyl) dithiophosphate is zinc di (nonxylphenoxyethyl) dithiophosphate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 122 words
An automatic transmission fluid according to claim 1 in which said mineral lubricating oil consists of about 65 percent of a furfural refined, acid-treated, clay-contacted, solvent-dewaxed, paraffin base distilLate having an SUS at 100* F. of 100, a viscosity index about 100, a flash above 380* F. and a pour below about +10* F., 22 percent of an acid-treated, naphthenic base distillate having an SUS at 100* F. of 60, a flash above 300* F., and a pour below -40* F. and 13 percent of a paraffin base residuum which has been propane deasphalted, centrifuged dewaxed, and clay contacted and which has an SUS viscosity at 210* F. of about 160, a flash above 530* F. and a pour of +5* F.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 39 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim 50 words
An automatic transmission fluid according to claim 1 containing from about 0.02 to 0.25 percent of an additive combination comprising about 91 percent of a hydrolyzed C6 18 alkenyl succinic acid anhydride, 7.5 percent of a mixture of mono- and di-C12 alkyl phosphoric acid esters and 1.5 percent of phenol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 190 words
An automatic transmission fluid according to claim 1 in which said mineral lubricating oil comprises 65 percent of a furfural-refined, acid-treated, clay-contacted, solvent-dewaxed paraffin based distillate having an SUS at 100* F. of 100, a viscosity index about 100, a flash above 380* F. and a pour below about +10* F., 22 percent of an acid-treated, naphthenic base distillate having an SUS at 100* F. of 60, a flash above 300* F. and a pour below -40* F. and 13 percent of a paraffin base residuum which has been propane deasphalted, centrifuged dewaxed and clay contacted and which has an SUS viscosity at 210* F. of about 160, a flash above 530* F. and a pour of +5* F., 0.1 to 5.0 percent of a zinc di (nonylphenoxyethyl) dithiophosphate, 0.5 to 10 percent of nitrogen-containing polymer of mixed alkyl and amino alkyl esters of methacrylic acid having a molecular weight in the range of 35,000 to 200,000, 0.5 to 5 percent of a reaction product of a tetraethylene pentamine and an alkenyl succinic anhydride, 0.1 to 2.5 percent of phenyl alpha naphthylamine and 0.5 to 1 percent of N-stearoyl sarcosine.
