Abstract:
The lubricating oil composition according to the present invention is one including a base oil, (A) a substituted hydroxy aromatic carboxylic acid ester derivative represented by at least one of the general formula (I) and the general formula (II), and (B) a heterocyclic compound represented by the general formula (III) or (IV) blended therein, wherein a phosphorus content is 0.06 mass% or less on the basis of a total amount of the composition, and a sulfated ash content is 1.2 mass% or less on the basis of a total amount of the composition. The lubricating oil composition is capable of maintaining high-temperature detergency and acid neutralizing properties, even when amounts of a phosphorus component-containing additive and a metallic detergent are reduced.
