Lubricants are base oil mixtures (lubricant derivatives of crude oil refining) and chemical additives which are primarily used to reduce friction between moving surfaces in contact, and which are capable of reducing the heat generated due to the produced friction during the surface movement. The property they have to reduce the friction is known as lubricity
Additionally, lubricants may be used as a means of power transmission, surface cooling (and heating) and/or circuit flushing.
The main functions of the lubricant are:
