Answer
Lubrication reduces the heat generated when two surfaces are in motion. It smoothes the process by forming a film between two surfaces that reduces friction and thus improves performance and efficiency. There are different variety of lubricants and oils available such as Engine Oil, Hydraulic Oil, and Greases.

Hence using lubricants reduces the friction between the two surfaces. When the lubricant is applied to machine parts, it fills the depression present on the surface in contact. ... The application of lubricants also reduces wear and tear of machine parts which in turn reduces friction.
