• an amount of thiadiazole dimer derivative provides optimal anti-wear performance at about 0.5% by weight, based on the total lubricant composition, in combination with a polyolester base oil. Good results are also obtained at amounts up to about 3.0%. It is expected that about 0.5% to about 5.0% Vanlube® 972 thiadiazole dimer derivative should also give good results. Even better results, in terms of solubility and anti-wear performance, are achieved when the Vanlube® 972 thiadiazole dimer derivative additive is accompanied by an amount of molydenum dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) or molybdenum dithiophosphate (MoDTP).

• Vanlube® 829 additive is a DMTD dimer derivative. Excellent anti-wear results are shown for this additive from about 0.1 % to about 0.5% by weight based on the total weight of the composition, with expected good results up to about 5.0% by weight. Addition of a metal DTP or DTC is provides even further increase in performance, with data shown for the combination with MoDTP (Molyvan® L) (compare Formulation 34 in Table 2 with Formulations 33 and 36) .
• Vanchem® DMTD (monomer) is also shown to give excellent results, which results are further improved with the addition of MoDTP. It is expected that other metal DTCs and DTPs will also improve the anti-wear performance. While US 5,422,023 suggests that a copolymer corrosion inhibitor should be used in combination with a DMTD monomer, the present invention provides for a lubricating anti-wear composition for use with corrosion-resistant materials (such as jet turbines manufactured of same) comprising a synthetic base oil and DMTD monomer, without the need for (i.e. being free of) a corrosion inhibitor such as that required by '023 patent.
