Lubricating oil composition
The present invention provides a lubricating oil composition comprising: (A) a lubricant base oil including at least one type selected from mineral oil, PAO, and GTL (gas-to-liquid) base oils; (B) a compound having a structure obtained by independently subjecting propylene oxide to addition polymerization with an alcohol or a structure obtained by subjecting a combination of propylene oxide with ethylene oxide and/or butylene oxide to addition polymerization with an alcohol, and being configured so that polyalkylene glycol (PAG) with an oxygen/carbon weight ratio of 0.35 or more and less than 0.45 and/or one or both terminal hydroxyl groups in the polyalkylene glycol (PAG) are blocked; and (C) a fatty acid ester having an oxygen/carbon weight ratio of 0.05 to 0.35.
1. A lubricating oil composition comprising:
(A) a lubricant base oil including at least one type selected from mineral oil, PAO, and GTL (gas-to-liquid) base oils;
(B) a high viscosity component in an amount of from 7 to 30% by weight relative to the overall weight of the lubricating oil composition, wherein the high viscosity component has a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of from 40 to 1000 mm 2 /s and is a polyalkylene glycol (PAG) having a structure obtained by independently subjecting propylene oxide to addition polymerization with an alcohol or a structure obtained by subjecting a combination of propylene oxide with ethylene oxide and/or butylene oxide to addition polymerization with an alcohol, and wherein the PAG has an oxygen/carbon weight ratio of 0.35 or more and less than 0.45, and
(C) a fatty acid ester having an oxygen/carbon weight ratio of 0.05 to 0.35.
2. The lubricating oil composition according to claim 1 , wherein the 40° C. kinematic viscosity of the fatty acid ester is at least 16 mm 2 /s.
3. The lubricating oil composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyalkylene glycol has one or more terminal hydroxyl groups, wherein one or more than one of the one or more terminal hydroxyl groups are blocked with a blocking group having a molecular weight of 200 or less and composed of at least one selected from C, N, O, S and H, and wherein the blocking groups are not included in the calculation of the oxygen/carbon weight ratio.
4. The lubricating oil composition according to claim 1 , wherein the lubricant base oil has a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of greater than 4 mm 2 /s and less than 20 mm 2 /s.
