Definitions

  • the present invention relates to lubricating oil compositions suitable for a transmission equipped with a slip-controlled wet clutch and more specifically to transmission lubricating oil compositions suitable for a continuously variable transmission equipped with a slip-controlled wet clutch and a metal belt, in particular a wet starting clutch, which compositions have excellent anti-wear properties for the metal pulleys and metal belt of the transmission and excellent initial anti-shudder properties and can retain the anti-shudder properties for a long period of time because the compositions contain a specific salicylate detergent.
  • Recent automatic transmissions have been demanded to be light and small and sought to be improved in power transmission capability in connection with the increased power output of the engines with which the transmissions are used in combination. Therefore, lubricating oils used for such transmissions have been required to have enhanced lubricating properties, i.e., properties to prevent wear on the surfaces of bearings and gears.
  • Metal belt type continuously variable transmissions have been also increased in torque transmitted between the metal pulleys and metal belt due to the increased power output of the engines. Therefore, the lubricating oil used for such transmissions have been required to have higher torque capacity and properties to prevent wear between the metal surfaces of the metal pulleys and metal belt.
  • transmission lubricating oil compositions in which a friction modifier, a metallic detergent, an ashless dispersant, and an anti-wear agent are optimally added so as to retain the friction characteristics of a lock-up clutch in a good condition and provide long-lasting initial anti-shudder properties (see Patent Documents 1 to 6 below).
  • Patent Document 1 discloses a transmission lubricating oil composition
  • a transmission lubricating oil composition comprising a specific calcium salicylate, an SP-based extreme pressure additive, a specific succinimide and a boron-containing ashless dispersant, each in a specific amount, which composition exhibits excellent properties such as excellent anti-shudder properties and long-lasting fatigue life.
  • Patent Document 2 discloses a continuously variable transmission lubricating oil composition containing an organic acid metal salt with a specific structure, an anti-wear agent, and a boron-containing succinimide, as essential components, which composition has both higher friction coefficient between metals and anti-shudder properties for a slip control mechanism.
  • Patent Document 3 discloses a long-lasting continuously variable transmission lubricating oil composition
  • a long-lasting continuously variable transmission lubricating oil composition comprising calcium salicylate, a phosphorus-containing anti-wear agent, a friction modifier, and a dispersant type viscosity index improver, which composition has both a higher friction coefficient between metals and anti-shudder properties for a slip control mechanism.
  • Patent Document 4 discloses a lubricating oil composition comprising a dithiocarbamate compound, a condensate of a branched fatty acid having 8 to 30 carbon atoms and amine, and an aminic anti-oxidant, which composition has excellent and long-lasting anti-shudder properties.
  • Patent Document 5 discloses an automatic transmission fluid composition comprising calcium sulfonate, phosphorus acid esters and further a sarcosine derivative or a reaction product of a carboxylic acid and amine, which composition has long-lasting anti-shudder properties for a slip lock-up mechanism and long-lasting properties to prevent scratch noise in a belt type continuously variable transmission.
  • Patent Document 6 discloses an automatic transmission fluid composition comprising a specific alkaline earth metal sulfonate in a specific amount, which composition is excellent in oxidation stability as a fluid used for an automatic transmission with a slip control mechanism and has long-lasting anti-shudder properties.
  • Patent Document 7 describes that since the monoalkyl type salicylate detergent inhibits the anti-wear effect of a phosphorus-containing additive, the use of a specific amide compound in combination therewith can enhance anti-wear properties for the valve train of an internal combustion engine.
  • Patent Document 7 does not disclose or even suggest any solution for preventing wear in a transmission with a slip controlled type wet clutch, particularly a continuously variable transmission wherein the metal pulleys contact the metal belt under severe conditions or preventing shudder peculiar to the slip controlled type wet clutch for a long period of time.
  • EP-A-1308496 discloses a lubricating transmission fluid comprising a lubricating base oil, a compound comprising a 5-membered ring containing at least two double-bonded nitrogen atoms, and a hydrocarbon ester of a phosphorous acid.
  • the present invention has an object to provide a lubricating oil composition suitable for a continuously variable transmission with a slip-controlled wet clutch, metal pulleys and a metal belt, particularly such a transmission with a slip-controlled starting clutch, which composition has excellent anti-wear properties for the metal pulley and metal belt and initial anti-shudder properties and can retain the anti-shudder properties for a long period of time.
  • the present invention was accomplished on the basis of the finding that the above object was able to be achieved using a specific salicylate detergent, a specific nitrogen compound and a specific phosphorus-containing anti-wear agent in combination.
  • the present invention provides a lubricating oil composition suitable for a transmission with a slip-controlled wet clutch, comprising:
  • the invention is also directed to the use of said lubricating oil composition for a continuously variable transmission with metal pulleys and a metal belt.
  • the invention provides a method of lubricating a continuously variable transmission with metal pulleys and a metal belt and/or a slip-controlled wet clutch, said method comprising the use of said lubricating oil composition.
  • the lubricating base oil of the lubricating oil composition of the present invention may be a mineral base oil or a synthetic base oil.
  • the mineral oil include those which can be produced by subjecting a lubricating oil fraction produced by vacuum-distilling an atmospheric distillation bottom oil resulting from atmospheric distillation of a crude oil, to any one or more treatments selected from solvent deasphalting, solvent extraction, hydrocracking, solvent dewaxing, and hydrorefining; wax-isomerized mineral oils; and those produced by isomerizing GTL WAX (Gas to Liquid Wax).
  • Examples of the synthetic lubricating base oil include polybutenes and hydrogenated compounds thereof; poly-a -olefins such as 1-octene oligomer and 1-decene oligomer, and hydrogenated compounds thereof; diesters such as ditridecyl glutarate, di-2-ethylhexyl adipate, diisodecyl adipate, ditridecyl adipate and di-2-ethylhexyl sebacate; polyol esters such as neopentyl glycol ester, trimethylolpropane caprylate, trimethylolpropane pelargonate, pentaerythritol-2-ethylhexanoate and pentaerythritol pelargonate; aromatic synthetic oils such as alkylnaphthalenes, alkylbenzenes, and aromatic esters; and mixtures of the foregoing.
  • the base oil used in the present invention may be one or more of the mineral base oils or synthetic base oils or a mixed oil of one or more of the mineral base oils and one or more of the synthetic base oils.
  • the lubricating base oil is preferably so adjusted that the kinematic viscosity at 100°C is preferably from 2 to 8 mm 2 /s, more preferably from 2.5 to 6 mm 2 /s, particularly preferably from 3 to 4.5 mm 2 /s.
  • a base oil with a kinematic viscosity at 100°C of greater than 8 mm 2 /s is not preferable because the resulting lubricating oil composition would be poor in low temperature viscosity characteristics while a base oil with a kinematic viscosity at 100°C of less than 2 mm 2 /s is not also preferable because the resulting lubricating oil composition would be poor in lubricity due to its insufficient oil film formation at lubricating sites and large in evaporation loss of the lubricating base oil.
