Answer 2

For the answer to the question above, the best lubricant has around 17-35 saturated hydrocarbons. Lubricants can either be liquid (oils) or solid (grease). Oils typically have 15-20 carbon atom chains, while grease has 20-35 carbon atoms chains. This means that both lubricant types fall under the range 17-37.
