This patent describes a method for reducing the coefficient of friction of a liquid lubricating oil which comprises adding to such an oil a coefficient of friction-reducing amount of the product resulting from reacting an aldehyde; at least one amine selected from the group consisting of primary amines containing from 8 to 18 carbon atoms and polyalkylenopolyamines of the formula NHX(R/sup 4/NH)/sub n/R/sup 2/ wherein R/sup 2/ and X are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a hydrocarbyl group and a hydroxyhydrocarbyl group, either containing 6 to 18 carbon atoms, R/sup 4/ is an alkylene group containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms and n is 1 to 10; and, at least one alkyl-substituted phenol wherein the alkyl is branched, contains from 16 to 40 carbon atoms and is derived from a 1-olefin oligomer containing from 8 to 12 carbon atoms, the reaction being carried out from about 60/sup 0/C to about 130/sup 0/C using the reactants in a respective molar ratio of about 1.0-2.0:1.0-2.0:1.0.
