[0125] The kinematic viscosity of the lubricating oil compositions of Examples 1-3 at 100°C was determined according to the method in GB / T 265-1988 before and after operation of the gearbox and drive axle, and the rate of change of kinematic viscosity was calculated.

[0126] The acid values ​​of the lubricating oil compositions of Examples 1-3 were determined according to the method in GB / T 7304-2014 before and after operation of the gearbox and drive axle, and the changes in acid values ​​were calculated.

[0127] The wear iron content in the lubricating oil compositions of Examples 1-3 was determined according to the method in ASTM D5185-2018 before and after operation of the gearbox and drive axle, and the change in iron content was calculated.

[0128] The results are shown in Table 5.

[0129] Table 5. Parameter results of the lubricating oil composition before and after 1000 hours of equipment operation.

[0130]

[0131] As shown in Table 5, before and after operation of the gearbox and drive axle, the kinematic viscosity change rate at 100°C, acid value change rate, and wear iron content change rate of the lubricating oil composition of the present invention are all low and within a reasonable range in this field. This indicates that the lubricating oil composition of the present invention has high stability, long service life, and good metal protection performance. Moreover, the kinematic viscosity change rate at 100°C, acid value change rate, and wear iron content change rate of the lubricating oil composition of Example 1 of the present invention are further reduced, its stability is further improved, and its service life is further extended.

[0132] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
