Abstract
Lubricants with enhanced viscosities are made from additives by combining dispersant viscosity index polymer, like dispersancy-substituted polyolefins, and detergent, like overbased, oil-soluble, metal salts, before adding dispersant package.
Claims13
A process for making a lubricant composition by:
- (1) combining:
- (a) dispersant viscosity index polymer, which is a polyolefin of ethylene, C.sub.3-20 .alpha.-monoolefin, and optionally polyene, having a number average molecular weight of at least about 10,000, which is grafted with ethylenically unsaturated, carboxyl-containing compound and dispersancy substituent, with;
- (b) detergent, which is an overbased, oil-soluble, calcium sulfonate;
- to make a premix, followed by;
- (2) combining the premix with lubricating oil and dispersant package to make a lubricant composition with enhanced viscosification.
