(57) Abstract: To provide a lubricating composition and a functional fluid composition particularly suitable for a continuously variable transmission. A shear stable multipurpose fluid composition for use as a lubricating or functional fluid, the composition comprising the following A, B, C and D: Oil with lubricating viscosity; B. 1 to 15% by weight of a metal salt of an organic acid; C.I. 0.05 to 5% by weight of metal, the metal being a metal of the metal salt; and D. 1 to 25% by weight of a viscosity improver, wherein the composition is -4 Has a Brookfield viscosity of less than 20,000 cP at 0 ° C., Shows less than 20% viscosity loss at 100 ° C when measured after 20 hours of tapered bearing shear test. |
