A lubricating oil composition which contains a base oil and a fluorine compound and may have improved cooling performance. The base oil may contain a mineral oil. The base oil may have a kinematic viscosity in a range of from 1 to 25 mm.sup.2/s at 40° C. The content of the fluorine compound may be in a range of from 3 to 30% by weight based on the total amount of the composition.

Provided is a mold release agent composition containing a polymer ester, the composition exerting a good mold releasability even when the temperature of mold increases, and a die casting method using the composition.

An ester compound which can be used as the additive of the lubricating oil or the base oil of the lubricating oil, and a process for preparing the same and use thereof are provided. The ester has excellent viscosity-temperature properties and low-temperature properties and can be used as the base oil of the lubricating oil. In addition, the ester compound has excellent viscosity-temperature properties and low-temperature properties as the viscosity index improver, can significantly reduce the wear scar diameter of the base oil as the anti-wear agent, can significantly reduce the friction coefficient of the base oil as the friction modifier, and exhibits excellent anti-wear and anti-friction properties.

Disclosed is a lubricant composition including: at least one base oil; at least one olefin copolymer; at least one detergent; and at least one hydrogenated and linear styrene/butadiene copolymer. Also disclosed is the use of this composition for reducing the fuel consumption of an engine and for improving the cleanliness of a 4-stroke or 2-stroke, preferably 4-stroke marine engine, or of a stationary engine.
