Abstract
Abstract Automatic transmission fluid comprising at least 86 weight percent of a mineral lubricating oil and 0.01 to 5.0 weight percent of an alkanephosphonic acid salt represented by the formula: IN WHICH R is a straight chain or predominantly straight chain aliphatic radical having from about 11 to 40 carbon atoms, M is zinc, calcium or an alkyl ammonium radical having the formula: IN WHICH R'''' is a polymethylene radical having from two to four carbon atoms, R'' is an alkyl radical having from six to 20 carbon atoms and x is 1 or 2 equal to the valence of M, and a method for operating an automatic transmission.
