The first stage converts a lower olefin feed to distillate range hydrocarbons in the presence of an aluminosilicate zeolite such as ZSM-5. The distillate effluent from the first stage is further polymerized to lubricant range hydrocarbons at elevated temperatures in the presence of a ditertiary alkylperoxide catalyst.

C. for n-hexane and 80.degree. C. for o-xylene and (2) by the ability of selectively cracking 3-methylpentane (3MP) in preference to the doubly branched 2,3-dimethylbutane (DMB) at 1000.degree. F. and 1 atmosphere pressure from a 1/1/1 weight ratio mixture of n-hexane/3-methyl-pentane/2,3-dimethylbutane, with the ratio of rate constants k.sub.3MP /k.sub.DMB determined at a temperature of 1000.degree.
