Definitions

  • the present invention relates to lubricating oil compositions for internal combustion, engines and particularly to those having excellent anti-wear properties, base number retaining properties, high-temperature detergency, and low friction characteristics.
  • Zinc dialkyldithiophosphates have excellent anti-wear properties and anti-oxidation properties as a peroxide decomposer and thus have been used as an essential additive in lubricating oils for internal combustion engines or in every sort of lubricating oils.
  • lubricating oil compositions blended with zinc dialkyldithiocarbamates and sulfur-based additives so as to retain the anti-wear properties are known as ZDTP-free lubricating oils as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication Nos. 52-704 , 62-253691 , 63-304095 , and 6-41568 and Published Japanese Translation Nos. 62-501572 , 62-501917 , and 1-500912 .
  • the lubricating oils disclosed in these publications contain a large quantity of sulfur similarly to those containing ZDTP. Such lubricating oils are poor in oxidation stability and tend to be acceleratingly decreased in base number.
