PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel composition useful as a lubricant composition or the like. SOLUTION: The composition comprises an oily vehicle and a compound represented by Formula (Z): A-L-äD 1 -(E) q -D 2 -(B) m -Z 1 -R} p (Z). In the formula (Z), A is a branched or cyclic residue with p valence; L is a single bond or a divalent linkage group; p is an integer of 2 or more; D 1 is a carbonyl group (-C(=O)-) or a sulfonyl group (-S(=O)2-); D 2 is a carbonyl group (-C(=O)-), a sulfonyl group (-S(=O) 2 -), a carboxyl group (-C(=O)O-), a sulfonyloxy group (-S(=O) 2 O-), a carbamoyl group (-C(=O)N(Alk)-) or a sulfamoyl group (-S(=O)2N(Alk)-); E is a divalent group; R is a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 8 or more carbon atoms, a perfluoroalkyl group or a trialkylsilyl group; B is an oxyethylene group or the like; and Z 1 is a single bond or a divalent group.
