Abstract
Abstract There are disclosed mineral or synthetic oil functional fluids which are suppressed in their tendency to form H 2 S at elevated temperatures by use of an additive of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is ═O or H 2 , R is alkyl and M is a metal such as zinc. The invention is especially useful in automatic transmission fluid compositions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A functional fluid composition comprising a major amount of a synthetic or mineral oil of lubricating viscosity containing an oil-soluble additive in an amount effective to suppress the tendency of the fluid composition at elevated temperatures to form hydrogen sulfide, the additive being a compound of the formula ##STR6## wherein R is a C 10 -C 24 alkyl, M is a metal of the group of zinc, iron, copper, nickel, molybdenum and chromium and X is --H 2 or ═O.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
80 words
A functional fluid composition comprising a major amount of a synthetic or mineral oil of lubricating viscosity containing an oil-soluble additive in an amount effective to suppress the tendency of the fluid composition at elevated temperatures to form hydrogen sulfide, the additive being a compound of the formula ##STR6## wherein R is a C 10 -C 24 alkyl, M is a metal of the group of zinc, iron, copper, nickel, molybdenum and chromium and X is --H 2 or ═O.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
9 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein M is zinc.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein X is --H 2 .
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein R is a tertiary C 12 -C 18 alkyl group.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
