A gun oil composition adapted specifically for the needs and requirements of modern firearms. The gun oil composition improves lubricity and gun performance under normal and extreme heat and pressure, minimizes and largely prevents the build-up of carbon and debris fouling on metal and non-metal components of the firearm, and substantially reduces cleaning time, while providing increased protection against environmental components such as dust, dirt and rust. The gun oil composition can include a base oil having at least a high viscosity index, an oil having at least a medium viscosity index with a detergent additive, a low viscosity penetrating oil, and a sulfurized ester.

The present invention relates to an antiwear agent and lubricating compositions thereof. The invention further provides for a method of lubricating a driveline device application by employing a lubricating composition containing the antiwear agent.

Mixtures of friction modifiers provide excellent friction performance to transmission fluids, where the friction modifiers include an N-substituted oxalic acid bisamide or amide-ester containing at least two hydrocarbyl groups of 12 to 22 carbon atoms; and an amide or thioamide represented by R.sup.1R.sup.2NC(X)R.sup.3 where X is O or S, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrocarbyl groups of at least 6 carbon atoms, and R.sup.3 is hydroxyalkyl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a condensate thereof.

A lubricating oil composition provides improved anti-shudder performance by lubricating an automatic transmission or continuously variable transmission.
