A lubricating composition includes an oil of lubricating viscosity and an oil-soluble dispersant viscosity modifier. The dispersant viscosity modifier includes an olefin-based polymer backbone and at least one pendent group derived from a functionalized aliphatic amine. Each pendent group is independently attached to the olefin-based polymer backbone. The pendent group is non-ionic, non-basic, and non-acidic and includes a functional group which includes at least one heteroatom other than nitrogen.
