Abstract: An asphaltic composition of enhanced utility for vehicular pavement is described. It comprises a road paving grade of asphalt in admixture with a small amount of an alkylene dithiocarbamate such as methylene bis(dibutyldithiocarbamate) characterized by having a reduced increase in absolute viscosity to original absolute viscosity after thin film aging as measured by ASTM Test D 1754 at 140.degree. F. Such compositions exhibit enhanced resistance to oxidative degradation of the type normally experienced by road paving grades of asphalt.

Abstract: Lubricating oils having improved antioxidant and anti-wear properties are obtained by adding a minor amount of a reaction product made by reacting at least one aliphatic olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbon containing from about 8 to 36 carbon atoms (preferably an .alpha.-olefin) concurrently with sulfur and at least one fatty acid ester (preferably an oil such as cottonseed oil) to obtain a reaction intermediate and reacting this intermediate with additional sulfur and a dimer of cyclopentadiene or lower C.sub.1-4 alkyl substituted cyclopentadiene dimers, such as methylcyclopentadiene dimer.
