Abstract

Overbased salt compositions are formed by reacting a hydreocarbyl substituted sulfonic acid or salt thereof with a basic neutralizing agent, in the presence of a hydroxy sulfonic acid or salt thereof. The overbased salt composition is preferably overbased by casrbonating via CO.sub.2 bubbling. Mixed overbased salts and compositions containing the mixed salts are disclosed as well as lubricating compositions containing such salts. The lubricating compositions have particularly good clarity.
