Polyisobutylene Based Oils

[landtoy80]

I see several chemical companies that make oil bases or additives polyisobutylene, but I can not find who uses them in the USA.
As polyisobutylene PIB is a smoke reducer in 2 cycle motors I would assume that a PIB based motor oil would produce less smoke in 4 cycle motor.

I might be able to order some polyisobutylene. If I can, would I be able to mix up my own PIB oil with adding what ever additives I would need?

Lawnmower experiment maybe.

Mopar oil in 1993 had polyisobutylene succinimide in it but the newer MSDS does not show it in it.

Isn't pure PIB very thick?

Polyisobutylene can also be used in adhesives or chewing gum base. You can buy it from BASF Corporation as brand names OPPANOL and Glissopa.
