Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Oiling reduces friction between parts with relative motion between them.
Repeated oiling is needed as the film of oil reducing the friction becomes thinner with time as some of the oil gets pushed off of the areas of motion where it can no longer be useful.
Oil also becomes oxidized which reduces the oil's ability to decrease friction.
Oil can also be fouled by dirt, lint or other material. This added material becomes coated in oil and typically gets sequestered away from the moving parts reducing the oil available for lubrication purposes.
