How does turbine oil contribute to the lubrication of turbine components?

Turbine oil forms a thin film between moving parts such as bearings, gears, and shafts. This film minimizes direct metal-to-metal contact, reducing friction and wear. The oil also helps dissipate heat generated from friction and absorbs contaminants, carrying them away from critical areas. By maintaining a stable lubricating film, turbine oil enhances efficiency and prevents premature component failure.
