Abstract: A lubricating oil composition, particularly useful for use in gasoline engines, which has superior low fuel consumption properties is provided. A lubricating oil composition contains one or more salicylate-type detergents, one or more ashless friction modifiers and a base oil containing a base oil component having an oil film thickness of 95 nm or less, when measured under conditions of a sliding speed of 4.4 m/s, a Hertz pressure of 0.53 GPa and an oil temperature of 100° C.

Abstract: Proposed is a polyvinyl alcohol molding resin composition exhibiting excellent workability in the molding procedure by extrusion and injection and capable of giving molded articles, e.g., films and sheets, having excellent properties in respect of good appearance and excellent resistance against coloration by heating. The molding resin composition comprises a polyvinyl alcohol and a limited amount of an additive ingredient which is an alkali or alkaline earth metal salt of organic sulfonic acid, e.g., sodium and calcium dodecylbenzene sulfonates, a polyoxyethylene ester of phosphoric acid or a combination thereof.
