This book outlines the emergence of higher performance specialty application oils and greases and emphasizes the need for lubrication and careful lubricant selection. With each chapter updated, the book discusses lubrication theory, lubricant basics, machine elements that require lubrication, methods of application, lubricant storage and handling, and lubricant conservation. It includes three new chapters on the lubricant impact on energy efficiency, wind turbine lubrication, and in-service lubricant analysis.
