LUBRICANTS WITH IMPROVED LOW-TEMPERATURE FUEL ECONOMY
摘要
Lubricating oil compositions, formulated to a preselected viscosity grade that demonstrate stay-in-grade capability in a diesel injector shear stability test, are provided. The compositions comprise a major amount of a base oil of lubricating viscosity and a minor amount of (i) a viscosity modifier (VM) or mixtures thereof having a low shear stability index (SSI) and (ii) a VM or mixtures thereof having an SSI greater than that of the VM from (i).
