Definitions

• the present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition to be used in an internal combustion engine that uses a fuel originating from natural fat and oil.
• Non-Patent Document 1 In line with an idea of carbon neutral advocating that carbon dioxide generated due to combustion of plant biomass is not counted as a contributor to an increase of the global warming gas, ratio at which the biofuel is mixed in hydrocarbon fuel is expected to be increased in the future (cf. Non-Patent Document 1
• An effective solution is to mount such an exhaust purifying device as a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or an exhaust purifying catalyst (oxidization or reduction catalyst) on an automobile.
• soot generated in the diesel engine adheres to the DPF to be removed by oxidization and combustion.
• post-injection of fuel is generally conducted so as to combust the soot accumulated on the filter.
• Engine oil is diluted by the fuel due to the post-injection, so that performance of the engine oil is expected to be deteriorated.
• the biofuel since biofuel can be easily accumulated in the engine oil due to its property and generates polar compounds when degraded and decomposed, the biofuel may adversely affect detergency of engine parts such as a piston.
• the filter is likely to be clogged by a metal oxide, hydrosulfate, carboxylate or the like generated in the combustion.
• a portion of the used engine oil is combusted and exhausted as exhaust gas. Accordingly, it is preferable that metal content or sulfur content in a lubricating oil is as low as possible. Furthermore, it is preferable to decrease phosphorus content or sulfur content in the lubricating oil in order to prevent degrading of exhaust gas purifying catalyst.
