Abstract

AbstractReducing friction is an important target for any lubricant oil formulator. There are several ways, such as utilisation of multi‐grade oils with low viscosity at low temperature, or use of friction modifiers, to reduce friction in automotive engines and transmissions and thus save fuel. A good means to obtain an energy‐saving lubricant is by the addition of a friction‐reducing additive in a high‐range multigrade oil. This paper presents some considerations on the action mechanism of friction modifiers and the results obtained in engine and gear oils with two new nitrogen‐, sulphur‐, and boron‐containing additives.
