Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
38 words
A lubricating oil composition suitable for use in the crankcase of an internal combustion engine, said composition comprising a major amount of mineral oil and a minor wear and friction reducing amount of an oil soluble molybdenum bis(dialkyldithiocarbamate).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
38 words
A lubricating oil composition suitable for use in the crankcase of an internal combustion engine, said composition comprising a major amount of mineral oil and a minor wear and friction reducing amount of an oil soluble molybdenum bis(dialkyldithiocarbamate).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A lubricating oil composition of claim 1 wherein the alkyl groups of said dialkyldithiocarbamate contain about 4-20 carbon atoms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
A lubricating oil composition of claim 2 wherein said dialkyldithiocarbamate is molybdenum bis(didodecyldithiocarbamate).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
A lubricating oil composition of claim 2 wherein said dialkyldithiocarbamate is molybdenum bis[di(2-ethylhexyl)dithiocarbamate].
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
57 words
A lubricating oil composition of claim 1 containing an antioxidant amount of an oil soluble zinc dihydrocarbyldithiophosphate which tends to increase engine wear due to blow-by carbon soot in diesel engines and a wear inhibiting amount of an oil soluble molybdenum bis(dialkyldithiocarbamate) which functions to counteract increased engine wear due to said zinc dihydrocarbyldithiophosphate and carbon soot.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
A lubricating oil composition of claim 5 wherein the alkyl groups of said dialkyldithiocarbamate contain about 4-20 carbon atoms.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
14 words
A lubricating oil composition of claim 6 wherein said molybdenum bis(dialkyldithiocarbamate) is molybdenum bis(didodecyldithiocarbamate).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
14 words
A lubricating oil composition of claim 6 wherein said molybdenum bis(dialkyldithiocarbamate) is molybdenum bis[di(2-ethylhexyl)dithiocarbamate].
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
A lubricating oil composition of claim 6 wherein said zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphate is a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate wherein the alkyl groups contain about 3-20 carbon atoms.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
24 words
A lubricating oil composition of claim 9 wherein the alkyl groups in said zinc dialkyldithiophosphate are a mixture of isobutyl and amyl alkyl groups.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
18 words
A lubricating oil composition of claim 9 wherein the alkyl groups in said zinc dialkyldithiophosphate are 2-ethylhexyl groups.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
17 words
A lubricating oil composition of claims 10 or 11 wherein said molybdenum bis dialkyldithiocarbamate is molybdenum bis(didodecyldithiocarbamate).
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
16 words
A lubricating oil composition of claims 10 or 11 wherein said molybdenum bis(dialkyldithiocarbamate) is molybdenum bis[di(2-ethyhexyl)dithiocarbamate].
