Friction is more on irregular surfaces.

The lubricant fills the irregularities and makes the surface smooth and thus reduces friction.
What a lubrication does is reduce the friction by forming a smoothe layer in between the two surfaces.

Lubricants also reduce heat :P Hope That Helped :)
By eliminating solid-solid sliding contact. A solid is defined as a material that can support shear (lateral force). When two solids come into contact, imperfections in the surface interferer with each other and resist slide by their shear strength. Liquids or macroscopic balls of graphite (dry lubricant) flow or roll to reduce shear forces the result in friction's Lubricants can reduce the corrosion particles and reduce wear and tear with the help of molecular participles in lubricant oil.
