  • Lubricant compositions based on block copolymers and processes for making
    Patent number: 8835366
    Abstract: Provided are lubricant compositions with improved oxidative stability and frictional and wear resistance properties for use in engine oil applications. The lubricant compositions include: i) a first base stock selected from a Group I base stock, a Group II base stock or a combination thereof at 50 to 80 wt %; ii) a block copolymer at 1 to 10 wt %; iii) a viscosity modifier at 3 to 15 wt % selected from polymers and copolymers of methacrylate, butadiene, olefins and alkylated styrenes; and iv) an additive package including a combination of antioxidants, dispersants, detergents, friction modifiers and antiwear agents at 2 to 30 wt %.
