Abstract: Provided is a mineral base oil satisfying the following requirements (I) to (III): Requirement (I): a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. is 2 mm2/s or more and less than 7 mm2/s; Requirement (II): a viscosity index is 100 or more; and Requirement (III): a temperature gradient ?|?*| of complex viscosity between two temperature points ?10° C. and ?25° C. is 60 Pa·s/° C. or less as measured with a rotary rheometer under conditions at an angular velocity of 6.3 rad/s and a strain amount of 0.1 to 100%. The foregoing mineral base oil can become a lubricating oil composition having desirable low-temperature viscosity characteristics, including low-temperature fuel consumption and low-temperature engine start-up performance, and also having excellent high-temperature piston detergency.

Abstract: Provided is a mineral base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 4.0 mm2/s or more and less than 6.0 mm2/s, a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of 1.0 mm2/s or more and less than 2.0 mm2/s, and a flash point of 140° C. or higher. A lubricating oil composition containing the mineral base oil has a high flash point while having a low viscosity and thus having excellent fuel-saving performance when used as a driving system oil and the like.
