oil and grease

Oil and grease are substances used to reduce friction between surfaces, making movement smoother. Oil is a fluid lubricant derived from natural or synthetic sources, often transparent or light-colored, and flows easily. Grease is thicker, semi-solid, and typically contains oil trapped in a soap or thickener, providing longer-lasting lubrication in certain applications. Both are essential in machinery to prevent wear and overheating. While oil spreads quickly, grease stays in place longer, making it suitable for different uses. Proper lubrication ensures equipment runs efficiently, reducing maintenance costs and extending lifespan.
