Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a lubricating oil composition for an internal combustion engine used mainly to drive a generator and to improve the fuel economy thereof. The composition comprises (A) a base oil being a hydrocarbon base oil having a ratio (CA/CB) of the proportion of the component of 24 or fewer carbon atoms (CA) and the proportion of the component of 25 or more carbon atoms (CB) in the carbon number distribution obtained by gas chromatography distillation of 2.0 or higher, the composition having a ratio (Vs/Vk) of the 80° C. high-temperature high-shear (HTHS) viscosity (Vk) and the 150° C. HTHS viscosity (Vs) of 0.35 or higher and a 100° C. kinematic viscosity of 2.5 mm 2 /s or higher and 5.2 mm 2 /s or lower.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A lubricating oil composition comprising (A) a hydrocarbon base oil having a ratio (CA/CB) of proportion of component of 24 or fewer carbon atoms (CA) and proportion of component of 25 or more carbon atoms (CB) in carbon number distribution obtained by gas chromatography distillation of 2.0 or higher, the composition having a ratio (Vs/Vk) of 80° C. high-temperature high-shear (HTHS) viscosity (Vk) and 150° C. HTHS viscosity (Vs) of 0.35 or higher and a 100° C. kinematic viscosity of 2.5 mm 2 /s or higher and lower than 5.2 mm 2 /s wherein the hydrocarbon base oil is a mineral base oil selected from (a) a hydrocarbon base oil produced by subjecting a lubricating oil fraction produced by atmospheric- and/or vacuum-distillation of a crude oil to one or more refining processes selected from solvent deasphalting, solvent extraction, hydrocracking, solvent dewaxing, catalytic dewaxing, hydrorefining, sulfuric acid treatment, and clay treatment, and (b) a synthetic base oil selected from poly-α-olefins and hydrogenated compounds thereof, isobutene oligomers and hydrogenated compounds thereof, paraffins, alkylbenzenes, and alkyl naphthalenes. 2. The lubricating oil composition according to claim 1 , further comprising (B) a viscosity index improver having a ratio of weight-average molecular weight and PSS of 1.2×10 4 or greater. 3. The lubricating oil composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is an engine oil for a generator. 4. The lubricating oil composition according to claim 2 , wherein the composition is an engine oil for a generator.
