Abstract
A grease of an oil of lubricating viscosity, a polyolefin having grafted acid functionality, a metallic species capable of interacting with the acid functionality of said polyolefin to cause association among the acid groups and a co-thickening agent, has improved rheological properties. The co-thickening agent and the metallic species can together comprise a gelled overbased material, particularly an overbased carboxylate.
