Definitions

  • This invention relates to an engine oil for automobiles (lubricating oil composition for internal combustion engines), and more specifically relates to a lubricating oil composition for diesel engines with superior fuel efficiency, oil consumption control and detergency.
  • blow-by gas or gas/lubricating oil mixtures of this kind, are preferably recycled in the engine rather than being exhausted to the atmosphere. In some engines such recycling is carried out by injecting the blow-by gas into the engine's air-intake system so that the lubricating oil is combusted in the piston chambers. Recycling of the blow-by gas solves the problem of emissions but, on the other hand, there is the possibility that problems may arise in that deposits may form in the air-intake system. For example, if the deposits form in the air compressor, the compressor will not work properly and will even be prone to damage.
  • compositions having the appropriate viscosity characteristics by using friction modifiers to contribute to friction reducing performance, and by using viscosity index improvers to bring about a reduction in churning resistance and to maintain an oil film at high temperatures while having low viscosity at low temperatures, as described in Japanese Laid-open Patent 2014-210844 .
  • WO2015097152 discloses a lubricating composition for use in the crankcase of an engine comprising: (i) a base oil comprising at least one monoester or a mixture of monoesters, wherein said monoester or mixture of monoesters has a kinematic viscosity at 100°C of not more than 4 mm ⁇ 2>/s, a viscosity index of at least 130 and a Noack evaporation loss of not more than 20 wt%; and (ii) polymeric viscosity index improvers selected from (a) one or more comb polymers; (b) a poly (meth) acrylate polymer having 1 to mol% of one or more specific (meth) acrylate structural units represented by the formula, wherein R ⁇ 2> is a straight chain or branched hydrocarbon group having not less than 16 carbon atoms; (c) styrene-diene hydrogenated copolymers; and (d) mixtures thereof.
  • EP2256180 discloses a lubricating oil composition which comprises a base oil of lubricating oil having a kinematic viscosity of 3.5 to 10 mm ⁇ 2> /s at 100°C and a viscosity index of 100 or greater and (a) an ethylene- ⁇ -olefin copolymer having a number-average molecular weight of 2,500 to 25,000 and/or (b) a polymethacrylate having a number-average molecular weight of 10,000 to 30,000, wherein a kinematic viscosity of the composition is 5.6 to 15.0 mm ⁇ 2> /s at 100°C.
  • the purpose of this invention is to offer a lubricating oil composition for use in diesel engines which, when used as an engine oil for vehicles, does have excellent volatility and engine cleaning properties as well as fuel economising performance.

  • a GTL base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 100°C of 4.5 to 5.5. mm 2 /s is used. If the kinematic viscosity at 100°C of the base oil falls below 4.5, satisfactory volatility is not obtained. If the kinematic viscosity at 100°C exceeds 5.5, satisfactory fuel economy is not obtained.
  • a base oil where the kinematic viscosity at 100°C is 4.5 to 5.5 mm 2 /s
  • the kinematic viscosity at 100°C of the low viscosity base oil constituent (a1) is below 3.0 mm 2 /s, the amount of evaporation increases, and it becomes difficult to maintain the viscosity of the composition over long periods. If using a high viscosity base oil constituent (a2) where the kinematic viscosity at 100°C exceeds 13 mm 2 /s, the low temperature viscosity at -40°C increases and low-temperature startability worsens. Furthermore, in this case, the ideal viscosity index of the mixed GTL base oil is 120 to 180, but 120 to 150 is even better.
