Abstract

A method of preparing magnesium alkylphenates comprising: PA0 1. preparing a suspension of "active" magnesium oxide in methanol; PA0 2. contacting said suspension with a mixture containing PA1 (a) an alkylphenol bearing one or more C.sub.6 -C.sub.60 alkyl substituents; PA1 (b) a dilution oil; PA1 (c) and optionally a heavy alcohol of a boiling point of between 100.degree. and 200.degree. C., the ratio of number of mols of "active" magnesium oxide to number of recurrent phenolic OH units being between about 0.25 and 2; and PA0 3. carbonating the resultant medium under pressure with carbon dioxide. The magnesium alkylphenates thus obtained are suitable detergent-dispersant additives for lubricating oils in amounts of between about 1 and 8 percent of the weight of the oils.
