Abstract
This invention relates to synergistic antiwear compositions comprising a sulfurized molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate and an organic sulfur compound selected from the group consisting of dithiocarbamate acid esters, sulfurized oils and polysulfurized olefins. Lubricating compositions containing the synergistic compositions possess good antiwear properties and improved extreme pressure and oxidation stability.
