Hello,

Lubrication is the power of friction and wear by the introduction of a friction-reducing film between moving surfaces in contact. The lubricant used can be a fluid, solid, or plastic substance.

A lubricant is a substance used for lubricating an engine or component, like oil or grease.

The 4 types of lubricants are-

Oil, Grease, Penetrating Lubricants, and Dry Lubricants.

Thank you.
