Thank you Alan.
But I have just realised I have made I mistake. The verb wear off in my paragraph should be something like wear out, meaning to waste something because one uses it all the time.

It doesn't really make sense with 'wearing out'.
try this version:
Lubricants are substances used for lubricating, ie for reduction of friction and reducing wear on movable surfaces for transfer of energy.
