IMPROVED OLEFINIC COPOLYMER COMPOSITIONS FOR VISCOSITY MODIFICATION OF MOTOR OIL

摘要

Lube oil compositions and methods for making the same are provided. The lubricating oil composition can include at least one propylene-based polymer comprising 60 wt% to 98 wt% propylene derived units, other units derived from one or more other alpha olefins, and a base oil. The propylene-based polymer can have a triad tacticity of 90% or more, a heat of fusion of less than 80 J/g, and a weight average molecular weight (Mw) as measured by GPC of from 70,000 to 250,000.
