A lubricating oil composition for automatic transmission including (A) a lubricant base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 100°C of from 1.5 to 20 mm 2 /s, (B) a polymethacrylate based viscosity index improver, and (C) a sulfur based compound having an acid value of not more than 1.0 mg-KOH/g and represented by the following general formula (1): n n S-(CH 2 CH 2 COOR) 2 (1) n n(in the formula, R represents a hydrocarbon group having from 8 to 30 carbon atoms), which has a high transmission torque capacity and satisfactory gear change shock characteristics and attains excellent fuel efficiency, is provided. Also, a lubricating oil composition for automatic transmission which is a lubricating oil having a low viscosity and a high viscosity index and which, despite this, not only has excellent shear stability and fatigue resistance (durability) but has a high transmission torque capacity and satisfactory gear change shock characteristics and attains excellent fuel efficiency, is provided. |
