Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition.
  • a lubricating oil composition used in an internal combustion engine such as an engine is required to have a further improved fuel efficiency. Therefore, along with efforts to reduce a viscosity of the lubricating oil composition, a research on a molybdenum-based friction modifier is also progressing from the viewpoint of exhibiting a higher friction reducing effect.
  • MoDTC molybdenum dithiocarbamate
  • R 1 to R 4 are isoalkyl groups each having C 11 to C 14 .
  • X represents an oxygen atom and/or a sulfur atom.
  • R 1 to R 4 contain on average more than 98% of C 13 .
  • PTL 2 also discloses that a lubricating oil composition prepared by blending MoDTC represented by the above general formula (1) has excellent storage stability at a low temperature (hereinafter, also referred to as "low-temperature storage stability").
  • the lubricating oil composition prepared by blending MoDTC proposed in PTL 2 has excellent low-temperature storage stability, but has poor copper corrosion resistance.
  • the lubricating oil composition having poor copper corrosion resistance has a problem that deterioration is accelerated due to copper elution into the oil caused by corrosion of a copper-based member used in the internal combustion engine such as an engine. Therefore, the lubricating oil composition is required to have excellent copper corrosion resistance in addition to excellent low-temperature storage stability.
  • the lubricating oil composition is required to be further improved in fuel efficiency.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a lubricating oil composition having excellent low-temperature storage stability, excellent copper corrosion resistance, and a high fuel efficiency.
  • the "copper corrosion resistance” means that even when the copper-based members are corroded, the copper elution into the oil is unlikely to occur.
  • the present inventors have conducted diligent studies in order to solve the above problems. As a result, it is found that a lubricating oil composition containing a specific molybdenum-based friction modifier and a specific amount of a benzotriazole-based compound can solve the above problems, and various studies have been further repeated, and thus the present invention has been completed.

As a result, it has been found that the lubricating oil composition has good low-temperature storage stability, but has poor copper corrosion resistance.
  • the present inventors have further conducted various studies based on the above study results. As a result, it has been found that the molar ratio of the short-chain substituent group ( ⁇ ) and the long-chain substituent group ( ⁇ ) in the compound (B1) represented by the general formula (b1) and the content of the benzotriazole-based compound in the lubricating oil composition are important in solving the above problems, and then various studies are repeated to complete the present invention.

  • Succinimide (nitrogen content: 1.4 mass%) Succinimide was added such that a content of nitrogen atoms derived from succinimide in the lubricating oil composition was 0.05 mass%.
  • a lubricating oil composition in which neither the cloudiness nor the precipitation occurred was evaluated to be acceptable.
  • Test method 1 copper plate corrosion test
  • a copper plate corrosion test was performed in accordance with JIS K2513:2000 (petroleum products-copper plate corrosion test method-) to evaluate the copper corrosion resistance of the lubricating oil compositions in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8.
  • Test method 2 evaluation of copper elution after ISOT test
  • a copper piece and an iron piece were put into a test oil (each of the lubricating oil compositions in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8) as a catalyst, and an ISOT test in accordance with JIS K2514-1:2013 was performed at a temperature of 165.5°C for 72 hours to forcibly deteriorate the test oil. Then, a copper concentration in the forcibly deteriorated test oil was measured in accordance with JPI-5S-44-11 , and the measured copper concentration was taken as the copper elution amounts after the ISOT test.
  • a lubricating oil composition having a discoloration number of "1" and a copper elution amount after the ISOT test of 90 ppm by mass or less was evaluated to be acceptable.
  • a lubricating oil composition having a "FEI% vs JASO BC" of 1.05 or more was evaluated to be acceptable.
  • the lubricating oil compositions in Examples 1 to 3 are excellent in all of the low-temperature storage stability, the copper corrosion resistance, and the fuel efficiency.
  • a lubricating oil composition which contains, as a molybdenum-based friction modifier, a compound substantially free of the short-chain substituent group ( ⁇ ) and substantially composed of the long-chain substituent group ( ⁇ ) (that is, a compound having a molar ratio [( ⁇ )/( ⁇ )] of 0.00) and does not contain the benzotriazole-based compound (C) (compound (C1), is poor in copper corrosion resistance and fuel efficiency (Comparative Example 2).
  • a lubricating oil composition which contains, as a molybdenum-based friction modifier, a compound having a molar ratio [( ⁇ )/( ⁇ )] of more than 0.50 (1.00) and does not contain the benzotriazole-based compound (C) (compound (C1)), is poor in low-temperature storage stability and copper corrosion resistance (Comparative Examples 1 and 3). Moreover, it can be seen that, even in the case of a lubricating oil composition, which contains the above compound and further contains the benzotriazole-based compound (C) (compound (C1)), the copper corrosion resistance is improved and becomes good, but the low-temperature storage stability is poor (Comparative Examples 4 and 6).
  • a lubricating oil composition which contains, as a molybdenum-based friction modifier, a compound substantially free of the long-chain substituent group ( ⁇ ) and substantially composed of the short-chain substituent group ( ⁇ ), is poor in low-temperature storage stability.
