A lubricant composition comprising (a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; (b) at least two nitrogen-containing materials, comprising (i) at least one amide of the formula R.sup.3C(O)NR.sup.1R.sup.2 and (ii) at least one tertiary amine being represented by the formula R.sup.4R.sup.5NR.sup.6 where R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are alkyl groups of at least 6 carbon atoms and R.sup.6 is a polyhydroxyl-containing alkyl group or a polyhydroxyl-containing alkoxyalkyl group; (c) a functionalized dispersant component, and (d) at least one diallyl phosphite, provides good lubricant performance for a continuously variable transmission.

An overbased sulfurized alkaline earth metal alkylphenate is prepared by reacting an alkylphenol with an alkaline earth metal hydroxide or an alkaline earth metal oxide and sulfur in the presence of an alkylene glycol or dialkylene glycol, or ether thereof and in the presence of an oil of lubricating viscosity, and optionally further reacting the product thereof with carbon dioxide; thereby forming a sulfurized alkaline earth metal alkylphenate composition in oil. The composition is heated and subjected to steam stripping followed by filtration. The resulting product exhibits an improved rate and efficiency of filtration.
