Abstract

Abstract Mineral oil or synthetic hydrocarbon base hydraulic fluids containing a zinc bis(dialkyldithiophosphate) as an antiwear agent are stabilized against degradation at elevated operating temperatures by the incorporation in the hydraulic fluid of an appropriate Group I or Group II metal dialkylnaphthalene sulfonate and a fatty acid imidazoline. For example, a hydraulic fluid containing a zinc bis(dialkyldithiophosphate) is stabilized by the presence of a minor amount of zinc dinonylnaphthalene sulfonate and a tallow fatty acid imidazoline.
