I don't know what's in DuraLube, but friction modifiers are highly  
proprietary (secret) compounds, often based on long-chain carboxylic/ 
phosphoric/phosphonic acids or amines/amides/imides.

There's a good, but old, article at <http://www.fastexfx1.com/ 
explaining/999.32001.pdf> explaining the differences between anti- 
wear, extreme pressure, and friction modification.
