Overbased magnesium phenate compositions are prepared by reacting magnesium oxide in a diluent with: (1) a hydrocarbyl-substituted phenol and/or a sulfurized hydrocarbyl-substituted phenol, (2) an ammonium sulfonate, (3) a monohydric alcohol of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and (4) water; removing the alcohol; and treating the resulting material with carbon dioxide.

Preparation of overbased magnesium phenates

Processes for the manufacture of substantially haze free zinc salts of dihydrocarbyldithiophosphoric acid comprising the addition of an effective amount of a surface active agent or surfactant at or prior to the neutralization of a dihydrocarbyldithiophosphoric acid by zinc oxide that reduces the Electrophoretic mobility (EM) of an untreated colloidal zinc oxide particle by about 25%. Generally the mobility of the treated colloidal zinc compound particle is reduced to less than about 1.0 .times.10.sup.-3 microns/sec. per volt/cm.
