Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
An oil composition comprising a major proportion of lubricating oil, and a minor rust inhibiting proportion, in the range of about 0.2 to 4.0 weight percent, of lithium salt of an amide of a hydrocarbon substituted succinic acid; said hydrocarbon substituent containing 12 to 20 carbon atoms and being selected from the group consisting of alkenyl and alkyl groups; said amide being the reaction product of said acid with a nitrogen material selected from the group consisting of ammonia, alkylene polyamines of the general formula: ##STR8##wherein n is an integer less than about 10 and A is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a lower alkylene radical having less than about 8 carbon atoms, and said alkylene polyamines substituted with one or more hydroxy alkyl substituents on a nitrogen atom, in which the hydroxy alkyl group has less than about six carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
