  • Patent number: 11254890
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lubricant composition which can be applied as a gear oil for a high-output and high-speed gear mechanism, and whereby fuel saving as well as further wear resistance in a bearing of a pinion gear can be realized while maintaining excellent durability, seizure resistance, and stability are maintained. A lubricant composition containing a Fischer-Tropsch-derived base oil, a poly alpha-olefin, and an ester compound, and further containing an unsaturated fatty acid and/or a partial ester compound of an unsaturated fatty acid and a polyol, wherein the partial ester compound of an unsaturated fatty acid includes a monoester compound of an unsaturated fatty acid and a polyol in a ratio of 50% by mass with respect to the total amount of the partial ester compound, and the SAE viscosity grade of the lubricant composition is 75W-85 or lower.

  • Patent number: 8168573
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lubricating oil composition comprising a mixture of both a poly-alpha-olefin and an ester compound, the lubricating oil composition having an SAE viscosity grade of 75W-85, satisfying GL-5 in terms of API gear oil designation and having a viscosity index of 160 or more. The above mixture of the poly-alpha-olefin and ester compound is preferably contained in an amount of from 75 to 90 wt % with reference to the total amount of the lubricating oil composition. The poly-alpha-olefin is preferably a mixture of a poly-alpha-olefin having low viscosity of from about 3 to 6 mm2/s at 100° C. and a poly-alpha-olefin having high viscosity of from about 35 to 45 mm2/s at 100° C.
