Each lubricating oil composition was used, and a cylinder-disk-type reciprocating dynamic friction tester (SRV, manufactured by Optimel Co.) was used under load: 100N, disk temperature: 100 ℃, vibration frequency: 50Hz, amplitude: 1mm, test time: the SRV test was performed under test conditions for 15 minutes to determine the coefficient of friction between metals. The results obtained are shown in tables 1 to 3. In addition, it is known that: when the value of the friction coefficient is 0.060 or less, the friction characteristics are excellent, and therefore, the lubricating oil composition can be evaluated as a composition excellent in fuel saving performance.
TABLE 1
TABLE 2
TABLE 3 Table 3
As is clear from the results shown in Table 1, the lubricating oil compositions obtained in examples 1 to 5, which contained (A) a lubricating base oil and (B) a metal-based cleaning liquid, contained (B) a calcium-based cleaning agent ((B1) a magnesium-based cleaning liquid ((B2) a) component, contained (B1-i) a total amount of B) of 1000 ppm by mass or less, and contained (B1-i) a total amount of B in the composition, were confirmed to be excellent in both LSPI inhibitory ability and fuel economy performance (friction characteristics), wherein the content of calcium derived from (B1) was 1650 ppm by mass to 2500 ppm by mass based on the total mass of the composition, and the content of magnesium derived from (B2) was 20 ppm by mass to 400 ppm by mass based on the total mass of the composition (B1) /Ca (B1) 0.15 to 0.35, and B (B1) /[Ca (B1) +Mg (B2) ]0.13 to 0.29. In addition, even B (B1) /[Ca (B1) +Mg (B2) ]0.29 but B (B1) /Ca (B1) The lubricating oil compositions obtained in comparative examples 2 and 9, which were outside the range of 0.15 to 0.35, have a larger value, in particular, friction coefficient, than the lubricating oil compositions obtained in examples 1 to 5.
Industrial applicability
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a lubricating oil composition for an internal combustion engine that can be made excellent in both LSPI inhibitory ability and fuel consumption performance. Therefore, the lubricating oil composition for an internal combustion engine of the present invention is particularly useful as a lubricating oil composition for an engine such as a gasoline engine or a diesel engine.
