The present disclosure relates to a lubricant composition including a base oil, a thickener and a thickener supplement, and a method of manufacturing the same. The lubricant composition of the present disclosure is effective at improving performance at high-temperature by maintaining the evaporation amount and friction characteristics even at high temperatures, thus inhibiting oil contamination of powertrain parts and the like and maintaining sticking phenomenon even in a high-temperature environment, thereby increasing the durability of parts.

This disclosure relates to a continuous process for preparing a grease thickener product in which operating conditions of the continuous process can be varied to obtain desired grease product properties. The process includes: (a) introducing a C.sub.3 to C.sub.30 hydroxy fatty acid or a C.sub.3 to C.sub.30 hydroxy fatty acid ester, and a metal base into a reaction zone; (b) operating the reaction zone at a temperature between 100 C. and 240 C. to react the C.sub.3 to C.sub.30 hydroxy fatty acid or the C.sub.3 to C.sub.30 hydroxy fatty acid ester, and the metal base, to produce a grease thickener product; (c) introducing the grease thickener product of step (b) into a flash chamber zone; and (d) operating the flash chamber zone at a temperature sufficient to remove volatiles from the grease thickener product of step (b). The continuous process conditions afford a production throughput of grease thickener product of greater than 8,000 pounds per hour.

A drive device includes a plurality of gears; and a grease composition that is held on a tooth flank of at least one gear of the gears. The at least one gear is made of a resin. The grease composition contains a hydrocarbon base oil, lithium soap serving as a thickener, and olefin resin powder. A weight ratio between the hydrocarbon base oil and the lithium soap in the grease composition is in a range of 94.5:5.5 to 96.0:4.0. A consistency of the grease composition is in a range of 360 to 400.
