Zusammenfassung:Lubricating oil compositions which contain hydrogenated diene star polymers grafted with N-vinylimidazole exhibit improved engine performance when prepared by grafting the polymer in an oil mixture containing at least 6% by weight of the star polymer. The grafting is accomplished by contacting the polymer with from about 3.0 to about 5.5 wt % N-vinylimidazole when N-vinylimidazole is the sole reactant and from about 1.0 to about 5.0 wt % N-vinylimidazole when N-vinylimidazole is used in combination with N-vinylpyrrolidone.
