👉 A worn fluid, often found in mechanical systems like hydraulic or lubricating systems, is a substance that has been subjected to friction and wear over time. This fluid, which can be oil, grease, or a specialized lubricant, gradually degrades due to the constant rubbing and heat generated by moving parts. As a result, it loses its original properties, becoming thicker, less viscous, and potentially containing contaminants like metal particles or wear debris. This degradation can lead to increased friction, reduced efficiency, and potential damage to machinery components. The presence of a worn fluid typically indicates that the system needs maintenance or replacement to prevent further deterioration and ensure optimal performance.
