Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
68 words
A lubricant composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity or grease prepared therefrom containing a minor antiwear improving amount of a bis-oxazoline having an alkyl group containing from 4 to 24 carbon atoms wherein said bis-oxazoline is obtained by reacting tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane with an alkylsuccinic anhydride, having from 4 to 24 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, in a mole ratio of from about 0.5:1 to about 2:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
68 words
