Abstract
A viscosity index improver comprising a copolymer having a unit (a) derived from a maleimide monomer and a unit (b) derived from a macromonomer, wherein viscosity measured by the following method is 8000 mPa·s or less. Viscosity measurement method: A solution composed of 78 mass % of a Group III base oil (viscosity index: 122, kinematic viscosity at 40° C.: 19.6 mm/s) on the American Petroleum Institute (API) classification and 22 mass % of the copolymer is measured with a viscometer (TVB-10 manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd., rotor: SPINDLE No. M3, rotation speed: 6 rpm) at 25° C.
