The interactions between organic friction modifiers (FMs) and other additives in a continuously variable transmission (CVT) fluid (CVTF) are investigated with the goal of optimizing friction management of metal pushing V-belt CVTs. Three types of FMs (oleic acid, oleyl alcohol, and glycerol mono-ole...
