Understanding Viscosity Index Improvers in Modern Lubrication Systems

Polymer-based additives that reduce the rate of change in oil viscosity with temperature are known as viscosity index improvers. Simply stated, they help oil act similarly during cold startup of the system or when the system is overheated. But without them, oil will not be reliable. At low
