- the present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition which is favorably employable for lubricating internal combustion engines such as diesel engines, gasoline engines, and gas engines mounted on land-travelling vehicles, with high fuel economy.
- the improvement of fuel economy provided by the lubricating oil composition generally can be attained by reduction of torque of rotation of the engine parts which is caused by the use of a lubricating oil composition providing reduction of friction to the sliding parts of the engine.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application number
JP2011-286254 - The present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition which is favorably employable for lubricating internal combustion engines such as diesel engines, gasoline engines, and gas engines mounted on land-travelling vehicles, with high fuel economy.
- Recently, the requirements for improvement of fuel economy to land-travelling vehicles on which a gasoline engine or a diesel engine is mounted, such as automotives, have continued with increased severity. It has been known that the improvement of fuel economy is most effectively made by reduction of weight of the vehicle on which an internal combustion engine is mounted. It also has been known that the improvement of fuel economy can be attained by appropriately selecting the lubricating oil composition employed for lubricating the internal combustion engine mounted on the vehicle.
- For the reason described above, until now, the companies engaged for developing lubricating oil compositions as well as the companies engaged for developing lubricating oil additives have intensively made studies for providing lubricating oil compositions which show improved fuel economy.
- The improvement of fuel economy provided by the lubricating oil composition generally can be attained by reduction of torque of rotation of the engine parts which is caused by the use of a lubricating oil composition providing reduction of friction to the sliding parts of the engine. The extent of reduction of friction provided by the lubricating oil composition mainly depends on the viscosity of the lubricating oil composition and selection of additives, mainly the selection of the friction modifier. For instance, if the lubricating oil composition is formulated with a base oil of low viscosity, the friction-reducing effect provided by the lubricating oil composition increases. However, the use of the base oil of low viscosity likely results in unfavorable phenomenon such as increase of oil consumption occurring during operation of the engine. Therefore, the improvement of fuel economy by the use of a lubricating oil composition employing a base oil of low viscosity has its limit. For this reason, intensive studies have been made on employment of appropriate lubricating oil additives, whereby improving the fuel economy provided by the lubricating oil composition. Until now, a variety of inventions made from these studies have been disclosed in a number of patent applications.

The lubricating oil composition can contain the nitrogen-containing ashless dispersant in an amount of 0.01 to 0.3 wt.%, in terms of the nitrogen content, based on the amount of the lubricating oil composition. A representative succinimide can be prepared by the reaction between succinic anhydride substituted with a high molecular weight alkenyl or alkyl and a polyalkylene polyamine containing average 4 to 10 (preferably 5 to 7) nitrogen atoms in one molecule.

Both are particularly effective for reducing wear. A zinc dialkyldithiophosphate derived from a primary alcohol shows high thermal resistance. These zinc dialkyldithiophosphates can be employed alone or in combination in the form of a mixture mainly comprising one derived from the secondary alcohol and/or one derived from the primary alcohol.
- The lubricating oil composition of the invention preferably contains an organic oxidation inhibitor in an amount of 0.01-5 wt.%, preferably 0.1-3 wt.%. The oxidation inhibitor can be a hindered phenol oxidation inhibitor or a diarylamine oxidation inhibitor. The diarylamine oxidation inhibitor is advantageous in giving a base number originating from the nitrogen atoms. The hindered phenol oxidation inhibitor is advantageous in producing no NOx gas.

For example, the alkali metal borate hydrate can be in the form of a dispersion containing micro-particles of an alkali metal borate hydrate which is produced by carbonizing a neutral alkali metal or alkaline earth metal sulfonate in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide to yield an overbased sulfonate and reacting the overbased sulfonate with boric acid. In the carbonizing procedure, it is desired to incorporate an ashless dispersant such as succinimide into the reaction mixture. The alkali metal preferably is potassium or sodium.
