Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel lubricating oil composition, more specifically such a lubricating oil composition produced by blending a base oil with a phosphoric acid ester metal salt and a molybdenum friction modifier with a specific structure and having excellent friction-reducing properties.
  • the present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition suitably used as an internal combustion engine lubricating oil.
  • lubricating oil has been used in an internal combustion engine, a transmission or grease to allow the smooth operation thereof.
  • a lubricating oil (engine oil) for an internal combustion engine is required to exhibit performances of higher levels because internal combustion engines have been improved in performances, enhanced in output and used under severe working conditions.
  • conventional engine oils have contained various additives such as an antiwear agent, a metallic detergent, an ashless dispersant, and an anti-oxidant (for example, see Patent Literatures 1 to 3 below).
  • a lubricating oil which contains various additives such as a friction modifier (FM) in combination for reducing the friction loss and fuel consumption since energy loss is large at friction parts where the oil is involved (see, for example, Patent Literature 4).
  • FM friction modifier
  • a friction reducing technique where zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDTP) is used in combination with a molybdenum compound is most common, but unless the molybdenum compound is blended in a relatively large amount, excellent friction-reducing properties cannot be obtained.
  • both the molybdenum compound and ZDTP are metal-based and if used in a lubricating oil for an internal combustion engine causes a trouble that they contaminate an exhaust-gas after-treatment system and consequently reduce the purification efficiency thereof.
  • the use of a molybdenum compound in a large amount may possibly lead to an increase in deposit or adversely affect sealing materials due to its degradation, and thus a sufficient friction reducing effect is desirously exhibited with the molybdenum compound in an amount as small as possible.
  • the present invention has an object to provide a lubricating oil composition to be used for internal combustion engines, automatic transmissions or in greases that can exhibit excellent friction-reducing properties even with a small amount of molybdenum and is particularly suitably used as an internal combustion engine lubricating oil.
  • the present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition
  • a lubricating oil composition comprising a lubricating base oil, (A) a phosphoric acid ester metal salt represented by formula (1) and (B) an organic molybdenum compound with a ratio of molybdenum to sulfur of 1: 3.5 or greater: wherein R 1 to R 4 are each a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, an alkyl or alkenyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, or an alkylthioethyl comprising an alkyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms and may be the same or different from each other; X 1 , X 2 , X 3 and X 4 are each sulfur or oxygen, either X 1 or X 2 is oxygen or both are oxygen, and either X 3 or X 4 is oxygen or both are oxygen; and Y is a metal element.
  • the present invention can provide a lubricating oil composition which can suppress the properties thereof from degrading and alleviate the adverse effect on an exhaust-gas after-treatment system with a small amount of molybdenum and further can decrease sufficiently friction under mixed lubricating conditions and is excellent in friction loss reduction and fuel consumption reduction properties.
  • lubricating base oils used in the lubricating oil composition of the present invention include mineral base oils and/or synthetic base oils.
  • mineral base oil examples include paraffinic mineral base oils which can be produced by subjecting a lubricating oil fraction produced by atmospheric- and/or vacuum-distillation of a crude oil, to any one of or any suitable combination of refining processes selected from solvent deasphalting, solvent extraction, hydrocracking, hydroisomerizing, solvent dewaxing, catalytic dewaxing, hydrorefining, sulfuric acid treatment, and clay treatment; n-paraffins; and iso-paraffins.
  • paraffinic mineral base oils which can be produced by subjecting a lubricating oil fraction produced by atmospheric- and/or vacuum-distillation of a crude oil, to any one of or any suitable combination of refining processes selected from solvent deasphalting, solvent extraction, hydrocracking, hydroisomerizing, solvent dewaxing, catalytic dewaxing, hydrorefining, sulfuric acid treatment, and clay treatment; n-paraffins; and iso-paraffins.
  • Examples of preferred mineral base oils include base oils produced by refining the following base oils (1) to (7) and/or lubricating oil fractions recovered therefrom in a given process to recover lubricating oil fractions:
  • the above-mentioned given refining process is preferably hydrorefining such as hydrocracking or hydrofinishing, solvent refining such as furfural extraction, dewaxing such as solvent dewaxing and catalytic dewaxing, clay refining with acidic clay or active clay, or chemical (acid or alkali) refining such as sulfuric acid treatment and sodium hydroxide treatment.
  • hydrorefining such as hydrocracking or hydrofinishing
  • solvent refining such as furfural extraction
  • dewaxing such as solvent dewaxing and catalytic dewaxing
  • clay refining with acidic clay or active clay or chemical (acid or alkali) refining
  • chemical (acid or alkali) refining such as sulfuric acid treatment and sodium hydroxide treatment.
  • the mineral base oil is particularly preferably the following base oil (8) :
  • a solvent refining process and/or hydrofinishing process may be additionally carried out at appropriate timing upon production of the above lubricating base oil (8).
  • the sulfur content of the mineral base oil which is. however, preferably 100 ppm by mass or less, more preferably 50 ppm by mass or less, more preferably 10 ppm by mass or less, and particularly preferably 5 ppm by mass or less with the objective of further improving the thermal/oxidation stability and reducing the sulfur content.
  • the %C A of the mineral base oil is preferably 2 or less, more preferably 1 or less, more preferably 0.8 or less, particularly preferably 0.5 or less, most preferably 0. If the %C A is greater than 2, the resulting composition would tend to be degraded in viscosity-temperature characteristics, thermal/oxidation stability and fuel efficiency.
  • the lubricating base oil used in the present invention may be a synthetic base oil.
  • synthetic base oils include poly- ⁇ -olefins and hydrogenated compounds thereof; isobutene oligomers and hydrogenated compounds thereof; paraffins; alkylbenzenes; alkylnaphthalenes; diesters such as ditridecyl glutarate, di-2-ethylhexyl adipate, diisodecyl adipate, ditridecyl adipate and di-2-ethylhexyl sebacate; polyol esters such as trimethylolpropane caprylate, trimethylolpropane pelargonate, pentaerythritol 2-ethylhexanoate and pentaerythritol pelargonate; polyoxyalkylene glycols; dialkyldiphenyl ethers; and polyphenyl ethers.

  • the viscosity index of the lubricating base oil used in the present invention is preferably 110 or greater, more preferably 120 or greater, more preferably 125 or greater and preferably 160 or less.
  • a viscosity index of less than 110 would not only cause the viscosity-temperature characteristics, thermal/oxidation stability, anti-evaporation properties to degrade but also cause the friction coefficient to increase and cause the anti-wear properties to degrade.
  • a viscosity index of greater than 160 would tend to degrade the low temperature viscosity characteristics.
  • the viscosity index referred herein denotes the viscosity index measured in accordance with JIS K 2283-1993.

  • the 100°C kinematic viscosity referred herein denotes the kinematic viscosity at 100°C defined by ASTM D-445. If the lubricating base oil component has a 100°C kinematic viscosity of greater than 6 mm 2 /s, the resulting composition would be degraded in low temperature viscosity characteristics and may not obtain sufficiently improved fuel economy. It the 100°C kinematic viscosity is less than 1 mm 2 /s, the resulting lubricating oil composition would be poor in lubricity due to its insufficient oil film formation at lubricating sites and would be large in evaporation loss of the composition.
  • the above lubricating base oils may be used alone or in combination with one or more types of other base oils.
  • the proportion of the base oil of the present invention in the mixed base oil is preferably 30 percent by mass or more, more preferably 50 percent by mass or more, more preferably 70 percent by mass or more.
