(54) Lubricating oil compositions for traction drive


(57) The present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition for traction drive, which consists essentially of:

(A) a base oil containing as the main component a saturated hydrocarbon or hydrocarbons having fused ring and/or nonfused ring,

(B) an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer having a number-­average molecular weight of 800 to 8,000, and

(C) an anti-wear agent.


The lubricating oil compositions of the present inven­tion are effectively used in winter and cold districts, since they have a high coefficient of traction and show a limited change in the coefficient of traction at low temperatures.
