  • Publication number: 20120238480
    Abstract: The present invention provides an additive agent to be added to oil and comprising weak basic hydrotalcite. At the time of adding a mixture of hydrotalcite of 1 weight % and water by 3 weight % to the oil where a hydrogen ion exponent is within a range of 6 to 7 for stirring, the weak basic hydrotalcite is hydrotalcite where the obtained oil indicates the hydrogen ion exponent within a range of 6 to 7. Such an additive agent can be accommodated in an oil filter (36) for use.

  • Publication number: 20120204828
    Abstract: The present invention is provided with a configuration which makes it possible to inhibit contact between an oil (L) and a gas in an oil pan (10a) properly. The oil pan (10a) according to the present invention contains a film (S1) which covers an oil surface (F) of the oil (L) to separate the stored oil (L) and the gas above the oil (L). The film (S1) can float by receiving buoyancy in the oil (L). The film (S1) may be formed of a liquid. The film also may be configured by a film member.
