Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
42 words
A lubricant composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity having dispersed therein: (a) 0.1 to 60 weight percent of a particulate hydrated alkali-metal borate and (b) an effective amount of an ester-polyol compound to prevent the accumulation of seal damaging borate deposits.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
42 words
A lubricant composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity having dispersed therein: (a) 0.1 to 60 weight percent of a particulate hydrated alkali-metal borate and (b) an effective amount of an ester-polyol compound to prevent the accumulation of seal damaging borate deposits.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
