  • Publication number: 20150072907
    Abstract: The invention provides a lubricating oil composition for an engine made of aluminum alloy containing a base oil, a succinimide compound, and a thioheterocyclic compound represented by the following formula (I) and has a sulfur content of 0.10 mass % to 1.00 mass % based on the total amount of the composition, and a phosphorus content and a sulfated ash content, based on the total amount of the composition, falling within specific ranges, and a lubrication method employing the composition. The composition exhibits excellent wear resistance to aluminum alloy sliding parts of engines and can considerably reduce the high-phosphorus ZnDTP content and the metallic detergent content, while excellent wear resistance to aluminum alloy is maintained.
