Alkylated polycycloparaffinic compounds useful as lubricating stocks are prepared by alkylating a polycycloparaffinic compound with an alkylating agent under alkylation reaction conditions in the presence of a zeolite catalyst. Useful zeolites include zeolite Beta as well as zeolites having a Constraint Index of from about 1 to about 10, such as ZSM-5 and MCM-22. In a preferred embodiment, the polycycloparaffin comprises adamantane and the alkylating agent is a C14 alpha-olefin.
