Patent ·
OSTI ID:6030607

This patent describes an improved lubricant composition. It comprises a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity or grease or other solid lubricant prepared therefrom and a minor EP/antiwear and antioxidant additive amount of from about 0.001 to about 10% by weight of a reaction product of a propylene based oligomerized olefin lube oil prepared in the following manner: propylene is first oligomerized over 2,,4,6-collidine modified HZSM-23 zeolite catalyst; the oligomerized product is distilled and the {>=} to C{sub 12} + fraction oligomerized over HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst to provide a propylene lube olefin having a MW of from about 300 to about 6,000 and thereafter reacting the lube olefin and elemental sulfurrand optionally with an organosulfur compound wherein the reaction product is obtained under the following reaction conditions: temperatures which vary from about 80{degrees} to about 225{degrees}C., pressures which vary from about ambient to slightly higher and times which vary from 0.5 to about 12 hours or more, and wherein the organsulfur compound is selected from mercaptothiadiazoles, dimercapto-thiadiazoles, mercaptobenzimidazoles, mercaptobenzoates and mercaptobenzothiadiazoles.
