Abstract
A lubricating oil composition may contain a base oil (A) and a dispersant-type viscosity index improver (B), in which the nitrogen atom content based on the solid content of the dispersant-type viscosity index improver (B) is 0.50 to 1.50% by mass, and the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) thereof is 100,000 or more, and the content in terms of the solid content based on the total amount of the composition of the dispersant-type viscosity index improver (B) is more than 0.05% by mass and less than 5.0% by mass. The lubricating oil composition may exert excellent wear resistance in a state contaminated with soot.
Claims20
A lubricating oil composition, comprising:
- a base oil that is present in a range of from 60% to 99% by mass, based on a total amount of the lubricating oil composition;
- a dispersant-type viscosity index improver selected from the group consisting of a dispersant-type nitrogen-containing poly(meth)acrylate and a dispersant-type nitro-containing polyolefin and having a weight-average molecular weight in a range of 120,000 to 240,000;
- a non-dispersant-type viscosity index improver which is a non-dispersant-type poly(meth)acrylate having a weight-average molecular weight in a range of 280,000 to 310,000;
- and
- a molybdenum-based friction modifier which is a binuclear molybdenum dithiocarbamate selected from the group consisting of a compound of formula (D-1) and a compound of formula (D-2),
- where R11 to R14 each independently are a hydrocarbon group having 6 to 22 carbon atoms, X11 to X18 each independently are an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom, and at least two of X11 to X18 are sulfur atoms,
- wherein the dispersant-type viscosity index improver has a nitrogen atom content in a range of 0.77% to 1.05% by mass, based on a solid content of the dispersant-type viscosity index improver, a content of the dispersant-type viscosity index improver in terms of the solid content is in a range of 0.11% to 0.32% by mass, based on the total amount of the lubricating oil composition, a content of the non-dispersant-type viscosity index improver in terms of the solid content is in a range of from 1.4% to 2.1% by mass, based on the total amount of the lubricating oil composition, a content of the molybdenum-based friction modifier in terms of the solid content is in a range of from 0.10% to 0.70% by mass, based on the total amount of the lubricating oil composition, and a solid content mass ratio of the non-dispersant-type viscosity index improver to the dispersant-type viscosity index improver is in a range of from 4.4 to 12.7.
