  • Patent number: 11932822
    Abstract: There is provided a lubricating oil composition which is excellent in the wear resistance and the oil film retention even when the viscosity of the composition is lowered. The lubricating oil composition comprises: a base oil (A); an imide compound (B); a calcium-based detergent (C); a polymer component (D); and a zinc dithiophosphate (E), wherein the imide compound (B) comprises at least one non-boron-modified succinic acid imide compound (Bx) selected from a succinic acid monoimide (B1x) represented by general formula (b-1) and a succinic acid bisimide (B2x) represented by general formula (b-2), and wherein the polymer compound (D) has a mass average molecular weight (Mw) of not less than 10,000 and not more than 50,000, and comprises at least one selected from an olefin polymer (D1) and a polymethacrylate (D2).

  • Patent number: 11384310
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition to be used for internal combustion engines, the lubricating oil composition containing a base oil (A), an imide compound (B) that is at least one selected from a succinic acid monoimide (B1) represented by the general formula (b-1) and a succinic acid bisimide (B2) represented by the foregoing general formula (b-2), a metal-based detergent (C) that is at least one selected from a metal sulfonate (C1) having a branched alkyl group and a metal phenate (C2) having a branched alkyl group, and a zinc dithiophosphate (D), wherein the content of a phosphorus atom derived from the component (D) is less than 800 ppm by mass on the basis of the total amount of the lubricating oil composition; and a method for producing the same.

  • Patent number: 11130927
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lubricating oil composition for two-wheeled vehicles, which is able to not only suppress a lowering of fatigue life of engine parts while making fuel saving properties (in particular, fuel saving properties at the time of low speed) favorable but also make clutch friction characteristics of two-wheeled vehicles favorable. The present invention is concerned with a lubricating oil composition for two-wheeled vehicles, including a base oil (A) having a viscosity index of 120 or more, an ethylene-propylene copolymer (B), and a metal-based detergent (C), wherein the content of the ethylene-propylene copolymer (B) is 0.
