Description

  The present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition, and in particular, relates to a lubricating oil composition that is excellent in low friction and particularly suitable as a lubricating oil for an internal combustion engine of a diesel engine or a direct injection gasoline engine.

  In general, lubricating oil is used in an internal combustion engine, an automatic transmission, a shock absorber, a drive system device such as a power steering, a gear, and the like, which are engines having a sliding portion, in order to facilitate the operation thereof. In particular, lubricating oils for internal combustion engines mainly lubricate parts such as piston rings and cylinder liners, bearings for crankshafts and connecting rods, valve mechanisms, etc., as well as cooling inside the engine, cleansing and dispersing combustion products, It acts to prevent corrosion.

  As described above, in addition to the various performances required for the lubricating oil for internal combustion engines, in recent years, low ash, low phosphorus, low sulfur for improved fuel efficiency and exhaust gas aftertreatment equipment, There is also a need to achieve a high level of trade-off performance such as improved long drain performance. In an internal combustion engine, energy loss is large in a friction part where lubricating oil is involved, and as a countermeasure for reducing friction loss and reducing fuel consumption, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, various additives such as a friction reducing agent are added. Lubricating oil in combination with agents is used.

  Conventionally, in order to reduce the friction coefficient of lubricating oil, addition of an organic molybdenum compound typified by molybdenum dithiocarbamate or molybdenum dithiophosphate, a combination formulation of the organic molybdenum compound and a metallic detergent (see, for example, Patent Document 2), Or the combination mixing (for example, refer patent document 3) etc. of this organic molybdenum compound and a sulfur type compound is performed.

  However, in a diesel engine or a direct injection type gasoline engine, a large amount of soot generated in the piston is mixed into the engine oil. Since this soot has surface activity, it exhibits the action of adsorbing the polar additive in the oil and scraping the coating formed on the friction surface. Therefore, even under such severe friction conditions, even if an organic molybdenum compound, which is said to have the best friction reduction effect, is used, a sufficient friction reduction effect is obtained due to inhibition by soot and metal wear powder. I can't. There are few research examples to improve this, and only a few proposals have been made such as blending alkali metal borate hydrate to improve the fuel efficiency of diesel engines (see, for example, Patent Document 4). .

  On the other hand, it is known that lowering the viscosity of a lubricating oil is also effective as a means of improving fuel efficiency. A multi-component which is obtained by adding a viscosity index improver such as polymethacrylate or ethylene-propylene copolymer to a low-viscosity lubricating oil. Grade diesel engine oil is commonly used. However, the fuel efficiency reduction effect of the multi-grade diesel engine oil to which only these viscosity index improvers are added is insignificant, and cannot be said to be sufficient. For this reason, there has been a strong demand for the development of engine oil technology capable of exhibiting a sufficient fuel consumption reduction effect even in diesel engines and direct injection gasoline engines.

  By the way, for diesel engines, there is an urgent need to reduce NOx and particulate matter (SPM). In order to reduce these exhaust gases, for example, high pressure injection, exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR), oxidation catalyst, diesel The introduction of exhaust gas reduction means such as a particulate filter (DPF) or NOx storage reduction catalyst is being studied.

  However, it is known that, among the exhaust gas reduction means, in particular, the oxidation catalyst, NOx storage reduction catalyst, and DPF of the exhaust gas after-treatment device have a longer life depending on the composition of the engine oil used. For example, when a lubricating oil containing a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (hereinafter referred to as ZnDTP) that is effective as an antiwear or antioxidant (peroxide decomposer) is used, the zinc content in ZnDTP is lost during the combustion process. By forming oxides, phosphates or sulfates and depositing them on the catalyst surface or in the filter, the purification performance of these exhaust gas aftertreatment devices may be impaired. Therefore, it is desirable not to add ZnDTP to the engine lubricating oil equipped with the exhaust gas aftertreatment device as described above, or to keep the amount added even if it is used. Moreover, since it is easy to produce the above-mentioned problem about a metal type detergent and a sulfur content, when a metal oxide and a sulfate deposit as ash content, it is desirable to reduce these content as much as possible.

  In addition, in diesel engines, particularly diesel engines equipped with EGR, soot is mixed in a large amount of lubricating oil, so there is a concern about increased wear of valve systems and deterioration of high temperature cleanliness such as piston cleanliness. The Further, even in a direct-injection gasoline engine, there are concerns about the same adverse effects due to soot mixing, combustion chamber deposits and valve deposits. Therefore, simply reducing the content of ZnDTP, metallic detergents, and sulfur is accompanied by a particular difficulty, and new means for compensating for the reduction in cleanliness and wear prevention associated with the reduction have been studied. I need it.

As a lubricating oil composition for an engine equipped with an exhaust gas aftertreatment device, a diesel engine oil composition having a sulfated ash content of 0.7% by mass or less has been proposed (see Patent Document 5). Further, engine oils containing a dispersion-type viscosity index improver have been proposed as means for improving cleanliness at the time of soot mixing and wear prevention (see Patent Documents 6 and 7). However, in these proposals, high-temperature cleanliness and base number maintenance performance when metal-based detergents are reduced are not always sufficient, and high-temperature cleanliness when ZnDTP content is reduced and wear prevention under mixing of soot Sex has not been fully examined. Therefore, there is room for further study in order to maintain or improve the high temperature cleanliness and base number maintainability at a high level and to suppress wear at the time of mixing soot that becomes noticeable when the blending amount of ZnDTP is reduced.

Even in this case, wear and friction under soot mixing can be greatly reduced.

  Moreover, in this invention, it is preferable that content of (B) component is 0.01-0.08 mass% as phosphorus amount.

  In this way, it is possible not only to achieve excellent low friction properties, particularly excellent low friction properties even under high temperature and high load conditions, but also to significantly reduce wear under soot mixing and at high temperatures. The composition can also be excellent in cleanliness, and the performance of the exhaust gas aftertreatment device can be sufficiently maintained over a long period of time.

  The lubricating oil composition of the present invention can reduce wear and friction and is excellent in high-temperature cleanliness, and the influence at the time of soot mixing is remarkable when the compounding amount of phosphorus compounds such as ZnDTP is reduced for internal combustion engines. The diesel engine and direct-injection gasoline engine are excellent in sustainability of fuel efficiency.

The friction coefficient was measured by changing the load under the following conditions using a TE77 friction tester. In this test, the smaller the friction coefficient, the better the fuel economy.
Oil temperature: 135 ° C
Load: 100N, 75N, 50N, 25N
Stroke: 15mm
Frequency: 5Hz

  As shown in Table 1, the lubricating oil compositions of Examples 1 to 4 were excellent in the friction reducing effect under high temperature and high load conditions, and were formulated with a commercial DH-2 semi-package additive containing a metallic detergent. Compared to Reference Examples 1 and 3 using a sulfonate detergent derived from a propylene oligomer, the effect is high. In addition, when a sulfonate detergent having a metal ratio of less than 2 is used as the component (C1), the friction property is more excellent (contrast with Examples 1 and 2), and a zinc alkyl phosphate as the component (B). (Examples 1 to 3), especially when 2-ethylhexyl zinc phosphate is used (Example 3), compared to the case where zinc dithiophosphate is used (Example 4), the lower friction Excellent.

  Moreover, in the composition of Comparative Example 1 in which the component (A) is not blended, the friction coefficient is worse than that of Reference Example 1. That is, it can be seen that a remarkable friction reducing effect is exhibited by the combination of the components (A) and (C1) or the selection of the phosphorus-based antiwear agent.

  In addition, the lubricating oil compositions of Examples 1 to 4 have been confirmed to be excellent in wear prevention and high-temperature cleanability under soot mixing, and have high friction coefficient maintenance performance under soot mixing. Since the low ash of 0.7 to 0.9% by mass, the low sulfur having a sulfur content of 0.2% by mass or less, or the phosphorus content of 0.08% by mass or less, the performance of the exhaust gas aftertreatment device is extended over a long period It is possible to maintain sufficiently. The lubricating oil compositions of Examples 1 to 4 satisfy the SAE 0W and 5W viscosity grade specifications, and also meet the SAE 30 viscosity grade specifications. Therefore, as is clear from the results of the examples, not only is it excellent in the friction reducing effect under high temperature and high load conditions, but it is also excellent in low temperature startability and fuel saving performance in winter or cold conditions in cold regions. is there. And it is especially excellent in the wear prevention property and fuel-saving property under soot mixing.
