A lubricating composition includes an oil of lubricating viscosity and an oil-soluble dispersant viscosity modifier, which includes an olefin-based polymer backbone and at least one pendent functional group. Each of the at least one pendent functional group is independently attached to the olefin-based polymer backbone by a linking group. The at least one pendent functional group includes a sulfonate moiety.
