- 8. The lubricating oil according to claim 7, wherein said sulfur-based additive is added in an amount of 0.07 to 0.3% by weight of sulfur.
- 9. The lubricating oil according to claim 1, further comprising 0.2 to 5.0% by weight of a phenol-type antioxidant given by the chemical formula (6): ##STR12## wherein m is an integer from 1 to 3, R.sup.41 and R.sup.42 independently are a linear or branched hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and R.sup.43 is a hydrocarbon group having 4 to 50 carbon atoms.
- 10. The lubricating oil according to claim 9, wherein said phenol-type antioxidant is present in an amount of 0.5 to 2.0% by weight.
- 11. The lubricating oil for internal combustion engine according to claim 10, wherein said phenol-type antioxidant has a molecular weight of 300 or more.
- 12. A lubricating oil according to claim 1, further comprising a sulfur additive in an amount of 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of sulfur.
- 13. The lubricating oil according to claim 12, wherein the sulfur additive is one or a combination of compounds selected from the group consisting of sulfurized oils, sulfurized fats, sulfides, thiocarbonates, and metal thiocarbonates.
- 14. The lubricating oil according to claim 12, wherein the sulfur additive is one or a combination of compounds selected from the group consisting of sulfurized sperm oil, sulfurized pinene oil, sulfurized soybean oil, sulfurized polyolefin, dialkyl disulfide, dialkyl polysulfide, dibenzyl disulfide, ditertiarybutyl disulfide, polyolefin polysulfide, bisalkylpolysulfanylthiadiazole, sulfurized phenol, zinc dithiocarbamate, lead dithiocarbamate, and antimony dithiocarbamate.
- 15. A lubricating oil according to claim 1, further comprising 0.2 to 0.5% by weight of a phenolic antioxidant having an ester group.
- 16. A lubricating oil for internal combustion engine comprising:
- (a) a mineral oil and/or a synthetic lubricating oil as a base oil;
- (b) an oxymolybdenum dithiocarbamate sulfide of the chemical formula (1): ##STR13## in an amount of 0.005 to 0.2% by weight of molybdenum, wherein X.sub.1 to X.sub.4 independently are an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom,
- R.sub.1 is a branched alkyl group having 14 or more carbon atoms, and
- R.sub.2 to R.sub.4 independently are a branched alkyl group having 4 or more carbon atoms;
- (c) a sulfur-based additive represented by the chemical formula (5): ##STR14## in an amount of 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of sulfur, wherein R.sup.31 and R.sup.32 independently are a hydrocarbon group having 3-18 carbon atoms and x and y are integers from 2 to 5; and
- (d) 0.2 to 5.0% by weight of a phenol-type antioxidant having an ester group represented by the chemical formula (6): ##STR15## wherein m is an integer from 1 to 3, R.sup.41 and R.sup.42 independently are a linear or branched hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and R.sup.43 is a hydrocarbon group having 4 to 50 carbon atoms.
