PREPARATION OF A SULFURIZED MOLYBDENUM AMIDE COMPLEX AND ADDITIVE COMPOSITIONS HAVING LOW RESIDUAL ACTIVE SULFUR

摘要

The invention is directed to oil soluble additive compositions, lubricating oil compositions derived from a process for preparing a sulfurized oil soluble molybdenum complex having reduced active sulfur comprising: reacting an acidic molybdenum compound with an amide derived from a carboxylic acid component an polyamine component in a ratio from 2:1 to 1:1; there after sulfurizing to provide a sulfurized oil soluble molybdenum which is subsequently treated with at least one compound capable of reacting with the active sulfur of step b).
