Abstract: Sulfone copolymeric oil additives having utility as a lubricating oil pour point depressant, viscosity index improver, dispersant, load carrying agent, rust inhibitor and/or antioxidant, or as a cold flow improver for heavy distillates and residual fuels, comprise the hydrocarbon soluble copolymers of an ethylenically unsaturated polar monomer and sulfur dioxide. This sulfone copolymer may contain one or more additional monomers including: C.sub.2 to C.sub.50, preferably at least C.sub.6, substantially linear alpha olefins; C.sub.2 to C.sub.12, preferably C.sub.2 to C.sub.9, cyclic olefins; and, C.sub.4 to C.sub.6 conjugated diolefins.

Abstract: Metallic compounds of polyarylamine sulfides and polyarylamine-phenol sulfides are provided. Said compounds function as dispersants and lubricants are stabilized against oxidation and have their wear protection properties improved by adding thereto a property improving amount of one or more of said compounds.

Abstract: An extreme pressure lubricant composition comprising a lubricating oil containing O-ethyl-S-n-butylthiosulfenyl xanthate, O-ethyl-S-tert-butyl-thiosulfenyl xanthate, t-butyl-t-butylthiosulfinate, or a polymeric polysulfide of a mercaptoethyl cyclohexane thiol.
