Abstract
To provide a fuel-efficient lubricating oil composition, particularly suitable for internal combustion engines, which has a reduced shear viscosity in an intermediate temperature range from 80 to 100° C., an effective temperature range for reducing fuel consumption.The present invention provides a lubricating oil composition comprising a base oil incorporated with a viscosity index improver, wherein the viscosity index improver has a peak area at a chemical shift between 3.4 and 3.7 ppm in a spectral pattern observed by nuclear magnetic resonance analysis (1H-NMR) accounts for 5% or more of the total peak area.
