Typically the lubricant-to-surface friction ismuch less than surface-to-surface frictionin a system without any lubrication. Thus use of a lubricant reduces the overall system friction. Reduced friction has the benefit of reducing heat generation and reduced formation of wear particles as well as improved efficiency

If you put a liquid like oil between two solid gears, it will shift about and change its shape as much as it needs to, cushioning the microscopic bumps between the gears as they mesh together and reducing the friction between them. ... The layers will slide freely past one another, so helping to reduce friction
