               based on the fluid base stock, wherein the fluid meets
                
               Boeing test BMS 3-11L. 
                                               
               Claim 15 is reproduced below.
                                         
                    15. A method for enhancing the erosion resistance of a            
               hydraulic fluid to meet the Boeing test BMS 3-11L wherein              
               the fluid comprises:                                                   
                    a phosphate ester basestock wherein the basestock                 
               comprises:                                                             
                    10 to 100 weight percent of trialkyl phosphates;                  
                    0 to 75 weight percent of dialkyl aryl phosphates;                
                    0 to 30 weight percent of alkyl diaryl phosphates;                
                    0 to 20 weight percent of alkylated triaryl phosphates;           
                    wherein the alkyl groups have 4 to 5 carbon atoms;                
               a poly alkylacrylate or methacrylate viscosity index                   
               improver where the repeating limits substantially comprise             
               n-hexyl and idodecyl acrylate or methacrylate and wherein at           
               least 95 wt% of viscosity index improver has a molecule                
               weight between about 50,000 and 900,000; and,                          
               an acid scavenger represented by the formula
