👉 Oiling is a process used to lubricate surfaces or components in order to reduce friction and prevent wear and tear. It involves applying a thin layer of oil or other fluid between two surfaces, usually at high temperatures, to increase their resistance to deformation. This can be done by hand or with the use of specialized equipment such as an oiler or a lubricator. Oiling is important for maintaining the longevity and efficiency of machinery, vehicles, and other equipment in use.
