Environmentally friendly, shelf-stable overbased calcium carboxylate compositions and their method of preparation are described. The subject compositions possess anti-oxidation and anti-wear properties superior to those associated with existing sulfonate compositions. The subject compositions are prepared by neutralizing a mixture of two different molecular weight aliphatic carboxylic acids or anhydrides in the presence of an aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent; adding a mixture of calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide; adding methyl alcohol to promote the reaction; carbonating the mixture with carbon dioxide at temperatures between 80° F. and 120° F.; heating to 200°-250° F. and finishing carbonation; adding diluent oil to the crude product; clarifying the product in solvent; and removing the solvent.
