Abstract
A lubricant, comprising a light base oil fraction having a wt % Noack volatility between 0 and 100 and additionally less than a Noack Volatility Factor (NVF), wherein the Noack Volatility Factor is defined by the equation; 900×(Kinematic Viscosity at 100° C.)−15, and optionally one or more additional additives. A process to make the light base oil fraction, comprising hydroisomerization dewaxing a waxy feed in a series of two or more reactors, and recovering the light base oil fraction having a low wt % Noack volatility. Also, a light base oil fraction having a wt % Noack volatility between 0 and 100 and additionally less than the NVF, made by the process of hydroisomerization dewaxing a waxy feed in a series of reactors.
