A sliding system includes a pair of sliding members having opposing sliding surfaces adapted to move relative to each other, and a lubricating oil interposed between the opposing sliding surfaces. Here, at least one of the sliding surfaces is a covered surface covered with a specific chromium nitride film. The lubricating oil contains an oil-soluble molybdenum compound formed of a molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate. In the chromium nitride film, when an amount of atoms constituting the entire chromium nitride film is set as 100 atom %, there is 32 atom % to 47 atom % of N, the balance is Cr, and a relative area which is an area ratio of the (111) plane with respect to the (200) plane obtained when the chromium nitride film is analyzed by X-ray diffraction is 20% to 30%.
