Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A lubricant composition comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and a minor effective friction-reducing amount of a reaction product formed by reacting equimolar amounts of an amine represented by the forming RR'NH wherein R is an aliphatic-based hydrocarbyl radical of about 10 to about 30 carbon atoms and R' is hydrogen or an alkyl group having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, with a hydroxy-substituted aliphatic monocarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of glycolic, lactic, and 2,2 bis-(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid, said reaction being conducted at a temperature ranging from about 60° to 180° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
