Lubricating oil composition
Abstract
A lubricating oil composition which exceeds the fuel saving performance of a conventional low viscosity lubricating oil composition, contains (A) a lubricating base oil having a % C A of 2 or less, adjusted to a 100° C. kinematic viscosity of 1.5 to 4.5 mm 2 /s and (B) a viscosity index improver including (B1) a poly(meth)acrylate having a weight-average molecular weight of 50,000 or less in an amount of 1 to 10 percent by mass and (B2) a poly(meth)acrylate having a weight-average molecular weight of 100,000 to 250,000 in an amount of 0.1 to 5 percent by mass of the total composition. The composition has a 80° C. high-shear viscosity (Vs: mPa·s) and a 80° C. kinematic viscosity (Vk: mm 2 /s) ratio (Vs/Vk) of less than 1, a coefficient of traction of 0.02 or less at 40° C., an average speed of 3.0 m/s, a slip ratio of 10%, and a contact pressure of 0.4 GPa.
