THE EFFECT OF POLYMER TYPE UPON PERFORMANCE OF MULTIGRADE OILS IN PETROL AND DIESEL ENGINES

The three main VI Improvers for multigrade engine oils, Polyalkyl-Methacrylate, Ethylene-Propylene-Copolymer and Diene-Styrene- Copolymer were compared. The results showed considerable differences in polymer effect. Selection of different polymers appears necessary for diesel and petrol engine lubricants. /GMRL/
