Abstract
Abstract Mineral lubricating oil compositions are prepared containing oil-soluble additives for sludge control, having improved high temperature oxidation stability and thus permitting longer periods of service before it becomes necessary to drain the used oil and replace it with fresh oil. The novel additive mixture is prepared by reacting elemental sulfur with long chain (C16 ) oilsoluble olefinically unsaturated monomeric or polymeric hydrocarbons, e.g. polyisobutylene, and using such sulfurized compounds in conjunction with conventional ashless dispersants with or without using additional ashless dispersants which have previously been reacted with elemental sulfur. Many of the hydrocarbons used as starting materials, in their unsulfurized state, have heretofore been used as viscosity index improvers in lubricating oil compositions.
