Abstract

Disclosed is a lubricating oil composition for gear oil, comprising a lubricating base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 140 to 350 mm 2 /s, a copolymer of an α-olefin and an ester monomer having a polymerizable unsaturated bond, a performance additive containing phosphorus and sulfur, and a poly(meth)acrylate pour-point depressant.

Claims (21)

1. A lubricating oil composition for gear oil, comprising:

a lubricating base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 140 to 350 mm 2 /s wherein the content of the lubricating base oil is 82.8 mass % or more based on the total amount of the lubricating oil composition,

wherein the lubricating base oil consists of:

a first lubricating base oil component having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 200 to 600 mm 2 /s and a sulfur content of 0.3 to 0.9 mass %, and

a second lubricating base oil component having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of less than 200 mm 2 /s, and

wherein the content of the first lubricating base oil component is 30 to 80 mass %, and the content of the second lubricating base oil component is 70 to 20 mass %, based on the total amount of the base oil;

a copolymer of an α-olefin having 12 to 18 carbon atoms and an ester monomer having a polymerizable unsaturated bond, wherein the content of the copolymer is 0.5 to 15 mass % based on the total amount of the lubricating oil composition, and the weight average molecular weight of the copolymer is 9000 to 15000;

a performance additive comprising phosphorus and sulfur, wherein the performance additive is a combination of

a first additive containing phosphorus but not containing sulfur and

a second additive containing sulfur but not containing phosphorus, wherein the first additive is phosphorous acid esters or phosphates, the second additive is polysulfides and thiadiazole-based compounds, and the content of the thiadiazole is 0.01 to 0.1 mass % in terms of sulfur element based on the total amount of the composition; and

a poly(meth)acrylate pour-point depressant, wherein the content of the poly(meth)acrylate pour-point depressant is 0.1 to 1.0 mass % based on the total amount of the lubricating oil composition;

wherein the content of the performance additive satisfies requirements represented by the following formulas (1), (2), and (3):

0.10≤C P ≤0.20  (1)

7≤( C S /C P )≤20  (2)

1.36≤C S ≤2  (3)

wherein

C P represents the content of phosphorus contained in the performance additive, and

C S represents the content of sulfur contained in the performance additive, wherein C P and C S are amounts (mass %) based on the total mass of the composition;

wherein a high-temperature fatigue life of the lubricating composition is 1103 min or greater, where high temperature fatigue life is measured by a Unisteel rolling fatigue test under conditions of test piece: thrust needle, surface pressure: 2 GPa, oil temperature: 120° C., and number of rotations: 1410 rpm, and

a pour point of the lubricating composition measured according to JIS K 2269-1987 is −20° C. or less.

2. The lubricating oil composition for gear oil according to claim 1 , wherein the kinematic viscosity at 140° C. is 6.0 mm 2 /s or more.
