Abstract

A lubricating oil composition may include a base oil (A), a neutral phosphorus compound (B), an acidic phosphorus compound (C), a sulfur compound (D) and a metal salt (E) including a metal sulfonate, a metal salicylate, and/or a metal phenate, in which a content of the acidic phosphorus compound (C) in terms of phosphorus atoms is 10 to 180 ppm by mass based on the total amount of the lubricating oil composition, a content of the sulfur compound (D) in terms of sulfur atoms is 10 to 1000 ppm by mass based on the total amount of the lubricating oil composition, and a content of the metal salt (E) in terms of metal atoms is 5 to 180 ppm by mass based on the total amount of the lubricating oil composition.

Claims (32)

1. A lubricating oil composition, comprising:

a sulfur compound (D); and

a metal salt (E), which is a calcium sulfonate,

wherein the neutral phosphorus compound (B), in terms of phosphorus atoms, is present in a range of from 100 to 1500 ppm by mass, based on the total lubricating oil composition mass,

wherein the acidic phosphorus compound (C), in terms of phosphorus atoms, is present in a range of from 10 to 180 ppm by mass, based on total lubricating oil composition mass,

wherein the acidic phosphorus compound (C) comprises a compound (C1) of formula (c-1), a compound (C2) of formula (c-2), and/or an amine salt (C3) of the compound (C1) or (C2):

R 1 and R 2 in formulas (c-1) and (c-2) independently being a hydrocarbon group comprising 6 to 30 carbon atoms, and m and n independently being 1 or 2, wherein the sulfur compound (D), in terms of sulfur atoms, is present in a range of from 200 to 1000 ppm by mass, based on the total lubricating oil composition mass, wherein the sulfur compound (D) comprises a compound (D1) of fonnula (d-1):

R a and R b independently being a hydrocarbon group, and X1 and X2 independently being an integer in a range of from 1 to 3, and

wherein the metal salt (E), in terms of calcium atoms, is present in a range of from 30 to 180 ppm by mass, based on the total lubricating oil composition mass.

2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the neutral phosphorus compound (B), in terms of phosphorus atoms, is present in a range of from 200 to 1000 ppm by mass, based on the total lubricating oil composition mass.

3. The composition of claim 1 , comprising the compound (Cl) of formula (c 1).

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the sulfur compound (D) is present in a range of from 300 to 750 ppm.
