Abstract

An oil composition containing a hydrogenated radial polymer having three rubbery diene arms and one block copolymer arm having a terminal resinous block is provided. It has been found that these asymmetric radial components impart a disproportionately good high temperature/high shear rate viscosity, thus enhancing oil performance under the severe conditions encountered in many modern internal combustion engines.
