Abstract
AbstractSome SAE 15W‐40 multigrade oils were formulated, using polymethacrylate (PMA) viscosity index improvers of different molecular weights, with a mixture of N 150 and N 500 as the base oil. Kinematic and dynamic viscosities, borderline pumping temperatures, pour points, shear stability, and evaporation losses were measured. The results confirm that viscometric properties as well as shear stability depend strongly on the polymer concentration and molecular weight of the VI improvers. However, evaporation losses are dominated by the volatility properties of the base oil.
