self-oiling
Needs no maintenance
Self-oiling describes machinery or mechanisms designed to lubricate themselves automatically, without manual intervention: a self-oiling chainsaw, self-oiling bearings.
The feature reduces maintenance and extends equipment life by ensuring consistent lubrication to moving parts.
