A halogen-free lubricant additive composition is disclosed which comprises the reaction product of elemental sulfur, an olefin, and an aqueous solution of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt of hydrosulfide. The reaction product has been found to contain little or no dithiolethiones and is useful as an extreme pressure/antiwear additive for motor fuels, as well as lubricants such as mineral- and synthetic-based oils and greases.
