Abstract

A process for the production of lubricating oil in order to obtain lower viscosity lubricating oils of increased viscosity index by separating a crude lubricating oil into a residual fraction and a distillate fraction and thereafter subjecting the residual fraction to hydrotreating and separately subjecting the distillate fraction to hydrotreating under more severe conditions than employed in hydrotreating the residual fraction.
