A lubricating oil composition may contain a base oil (A) and a dispersant-type viscosity index improver (B), in which the nitrogen atom content based on the solid content of the dispersant-type viscosity index improver (B) is 0.50 to 1.50% by mass, and the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) thereof is 100,000 or more, and the content in terms of the solid content based on the total amount of the composition of the dispersant-type viscosity index improver (B) is more than 0.05% by mass and less than 5.0% by mass. The lubricating oil composition may exert excellent wear resistance in a state contaminated with soot.

Lubricating oil composition

The present invention provides a lubricating oil composition for two-wheeled vehicles, which is able to not only suppress a lowering of fatigue life of engine parts while making fuel saving properties (in particular, fuel saving properties at the time of low speed) favorable but also make clutch friction characteristics of two-wheeled vehicles favorable. The present invention is concerned with a lubricating oil composition for two-wheeled vehicles, including a base oil (A) having a viscosity index of 120 or more, an ethylene-propylene copolymer (B), and a metal-based detergent (C), wherein the content of the ethylene-propylene copolymer (B) is 0.30% by mass or more on the basis of the whole amount of the lubricating oil composition; the metal-based detergent (C) contains a calcium phenate (C1) and a calcium sulfonate (C2), and a mass ratio of the content (Ca) of the calcium phenate (C1) as expressed in terms of a calcium atom to the content (Ca) of the calcium sulfonate (C2) as expressed in terms of a calcium atom is satisfied with a relation of (1.0&#x2264;Ca/Ca); and the lubricating oil composition has a kinematic viscosity at 100&#xb0; C. is less than 9.3 mm/s and an HTHS viscosity at 150&#xb0; C. is 2.9 mPa&#xb7;s or more.

A grease of the invention contains a fluorine synthetic oil as a base oil and an inorganic acid salt that is at least one selected from phosphate, tungstate, sulfate and sulfite. The grease of the invention is suitably usable in a bearing, a gear and the like because of an excellent wear resistance and a low environmental burden.
