Answer:

The three types of lubrication occurred in the bearing are:

When the lubrication occur in the bearing it play an important role in the rolling life of bearing element. Basically, lubricant task is to reduced the friction.

1) Grease lubricant: Grease contain various type of additives which help in enhance the performance. It consist of oil where thickness are added as, this thickness improved the characteristics of grease.

2) Oil lubricant: This is used to reduced or minimized the friction and the lubricant oil is used to in those vehicles when they are motorized. Bearing lubricant oil is used to higher the speed capability.

3) Solid films: These are non fluid coating surface that are applied in the friction surface for prevention. It is used in very extreme situation where oil and grease types of lubricant does not work.
