Abstract

The present invention provides substantially saturated, e.g., hydrogenated, phospholipid compounds, such as hydrogenated lecithin, which are useful as friction modifying agents for oleaginous compositions such as fuels, and lubricating oils, particularly automatic transmission fluids. The present invention also provides oleaginous compositions containing such phospholipid compounds, and processes for preparing the hydrogenated phospholipids, such as hydrogenated lecithin, and the compositions in which they are contained.
