Abstract

L'invention concerne une composition d'huile lubrifiante qui permet d'obtenir des performances anti-obturateur améliorées par lubrification d'une transmission automatique ou d'une transmission à variation continue. La composition d'huile lubrifiante comprend (a) un ou plusieurs dispersants sans cendres ; et (b) au moins un composé de phosphore acide. Lorsque l'au moins un composé de phosphore acide est composé uniquement d'acide phosphorique, la composition d'huile lubrifiante contient en outre un ou plusieurs composés de phosphore neutre. Le rapport de neutralisation du (a) un ou plusieurs dispersants sans cendres sur (b) l'au moins un composé de phosphore acide est de 60 à 100 %. La composition d'huile lubrifiante comprend en outre au moins un modificateur de frottement.
