oil bath
Greasy mechanical treatment
An oil bath is a container of heated oil used to regulate temperature uniformly.
In laboratories, glassware sits in an oil bath for controlled heating above water's boiling point.
In machinery, an oil bath lubricates moving parts by partial immersion: an oil bath air filter.
The term also describes soaking metal parts in oil for rust prevention or treatment.
