Abstract:
A lubricating oil composition for internal combustion engines of passenger and commercial four-wheeled vehicles is provided which can exhibit excellent fuel efficiency performance and wear resistance reliability. The lubricating oil composition includes a base oil and a complex polyester mixture. The base oil includes at least one of poly-α-olefin, an ester-based base oil, or a partially hydrogenated mineral oil. The complex polyester mixture includes a polyester obtained by condensing a polyhydric alcohol, a polycarboxylic acid, and a monohydric alcohol having an oxyalkylene group. The content of the complex polyester mixture is 0.01% by mass or more with respect to the total mass of the lubricating oil composition, the high-temperature shear viscosity (HTHS viscosity) at 150° C. is 1.0 mPa·s to 2.6 mPa·s, and the NOACK evaporation amount is 40% or less.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a lubricant having excellent lubrication performance. Further, another object of the present invention is to produce a polyester composition having a small load on an environment and mass productivity. The present invention relates to a production method for a complex polyester composition including a step of obtaining a complex polyester composition by condensing polyhydric alcohol, polycarboxylic acid having at least two carboxyl groups and carbon atoms of greater than or equal to 5, monohydric alcohol having at least one oxyalkylene group in the absence of a solvent, in which a component having a weight average molecular weight of less than or equal to 1300 in a GPC chart of the complex polyester composition is less than or equal to 43 area %. Further, the present invention relates to a complex polyester composition, a lubricant composition, and a lubricant.
