Claim One:
1. A computer implemented method for predicting properties of lubricant base oil blends, comprising the steps of: a. generating an NMR spectrum, HPLC-UV spectrum, and FIMS spectrum of a sample of a blend of at least two lubricant base oils; b. determining at least one composite structural molecular parameter of the sample from said spectrums; c. generating SIMDIST and HPO analyses of the sample; d. determining a composite boiling point distribution and molecular weight of the sample from such analysis; e. applying the at least one composite structural molecular parameter, the composite boiling point distribution and the composite molecular weight to a trained neural network trained to correlate with the at least one composite structural molecular parameter, the composite boiling point distribution and the composite molecular weight so as to predict composite properties of the sample, wherein the properties comprise Kinematic Viscosity at 40 C, Kinematic Viscosity at 100 C, Viscosity Index, Cloud Point, and Oxidation Performance.
