regreasing
Adding lubricant anew
Regreasing is the process of applying fresh grease to machinery, bearings, or mechanical parts that require periodic lubrication: The maintenance schedule calls for regreasing the wheel bearings every 30,000 miles.
The prefix re- indicates this isn't the initial application but a renewal of lubrication that has broken down or been depleted.
