Abstract:
1. A process for preparing a lubricating base oil blend, comprising: (a) isomerizing a Fischer-Tropsch derived product; (b) recovering from the isomerized Fischer-Tropsch derived product a Fischer-Tropsch derived bottoms as a pour point depressing base oil blending component having an average molecular weight between about 700 and about 1000, an average degree of branching in the molecules between about 6.5 and about 10 alkyl branches per 100 carbon atoms, and a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. within the range of from about 8 and about 22 cSt; and (c) blending the pour point depressing base oil blending component with a distillate base oil to provide the lubricating base oil blend.
