1-Oils are liquid whereas grease are semi solid.
2- Grease are not affected by extreme temperatures, so they are commonly used in tools, machines and equipments. Oil, in room temperature, is liquid when subjected to extremely low temperatures, and tends to evaporate when subjected to extremely high temperatures. Oil is used by people in cooking, personal grooming, lubrication and so much more.
3-The viscosity of oil is low as compared to that of grease
4-Oil is extracted from animal fat, plant or crude oils. Grease is made up by mixing oil and thickener agent.
An additive called a demulsifier is used in lubricating oil to help separate and remove water from the oil. Demulsifiers work by breaking down the emulsions that form between the water and the oil, allowing the water to separate out more easily.
Oxidation of lubricating oil is primarily caused by exposure to oxygen in the air, high temperatures, and contaminants such as water and metal particles. These factors can lead to the formation of harmful byproducts that can degrade the oil and reduce its lubricating properties. Regular oil analysis and maintenance can help monitor and prevent oxidation in lubricating oil.
Surfactants are compounds that help grease and oil mix with water by reducing the surface tension between the two substances. This allows for more effective rinsing and cleaning as the surfactants surround the grease/oil particles and enable them to be carried away by water.

Oil is slippery because it has a low viscosity, meaning it flows easily between surfaces and layers. This reduces friction between surfaces, allowing objects to slide past each other with less resistance. Additionally, the smooth molecules in oil create a lubricating layer that further reduces friction between surfaces.
Lubricating Oil Is A Thick Fatty Oil (Especially One To Be Used For Lubricating Factory Machinery)
it's lubricating properties
engine oil is thick than hydraulic oil
20w-50 indicates Synthetic-oil
Plumbers grease is typically made from petroleum-based products, while silicone grease is made from silicone oil. Silicone grease is more suitable for lubricating plumbing fixtures as it is more resistant to water and heat, making it longer-lasting and more effective in preventing leaks and corrosion.
Lubricant oils include vegetable oil, silicone, fluorocarbons, polyolefins, grease, graphite, tungsten oil, molybdenum and mineral oils. Lubricating oils can be purchased in liquid or dry versions depending on their intended application.
Grease or oil reduces the coefficient of friction between surfaces by providing a lubricating layer that allows them to slide more easily over each other. This reduces frictional resistance and lowers the force required to move the surfaces.
Lubricating oil is NOT volatile.
Reduces friction between moving parts.
Lubricating oil is used to reduce friction between moving parts and to prevent damage due to excess heat. Lubricating oil also carries away sludge preventing the erosion of moving parts.
One filters lubricating oil while the other filters fuel. The filtering media would be of a different type to filter out different contaminants
What are we actually asking here? Lubricating oil? The generator should come with a note as to what lubricating oil it uses, and different diesel engines in cars and lorries require different grades of oil. Or are we asking about fuel? Generators can be run off Red or Agricultural diesel as there is no Road Fuel Duty to pay.
