Benefits of technology

The lubricating oil composition provides excellent fuel efficiency and wear resistance, suitable for both motorcycle four-cycle gasoline engines and diesel engines with exhaust gas after-treatment devices, while maintaining low viscosity for improved engine performance.

Problems solved by technology

Nevertheless, fuel-efficient gasoline engine oils for four-wheel drive vehicles having an SAE viscosity grade of 5W20 cannot be expected to have a high-temperature, high-shear viscosity that is as high as 2.6 mPa·s and therefore, there is a problem in that when used as the engine oil of a motorcycle four-cycle gasoline engine that uses engine oil for lubrication of the transmission system, there is a problem in that wear resistance is insufficient.

Abstract

Provided is a lubricating oil composition that is highly fuel-efficient and has high wear resistance and is particularly suited for lubrication of a motorcycle four-cycle gasoline engine or a diesel engine vehicle having an exhaust gas after-treatment device. The lubricating oil composition, which is a lubricating oil composition having an SAE viscosity grade of 5W20, comprises a base oil and predetermined amounts of additive components comprising of a nitrogen-containing ash-free dispersant, an alkali earth metal-containing detergent, a phosphorus-containing anti-wear agent, an antioxidant, and a viscosity index-improving agent, wherein the viscosity index is within a range of 140 to 230, the high-shear viscosity at 150° C. is 2.9 mPa·s or higher, and the NOACK evaporation loss is 13% or less.
