abstract |
The invention concerns a lubricating oil composition in which a lubricating oil base contains 0.1% by weight to 20% by weight of an aromatic glycidyl carboxylate having the following general formula (1):n n wherein R is a C₆₋₁₄ aryl or alkylaryl group, and n represents an integer of 1 or 2, and/or 0.05% by weight to 10% by weight of a phosphonate type additive having the following general formula (2):n n wherein R₁ or R₂ is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aralkyl, aryl and hydroxyalkyl groups that may or may not have a substitute, and two R₂ groups may be identical with or different from each other, and which is excellent in stability to hydrolysis, heat and oxidation as well as in lubricating properties, and so provides a particularly excellent refrigerating oil composition. |
