Abstract (en)

In one aspect a method for lubricating a tribosystem (10) is provided that may include providing a new tribosystem including at least two solid surfaces (12) that interact during operation of the tribosystem and providing lubrication oil (L) for lubricating the tribosystem. The method may further include operating the tribosystem while lubricating the tribosystem with the lubrication oil during an initial period and supplying anti-wear additives (A) to the lubrication oil at the end of the initial period. In another aspect a lubrication assembly for containing lubrication oil may be provided. The lubrication assembly may include an anti-wear additive storage (18) and a releaser that is configured for releasing anti-wear additive from the anti-wear additive storage into the lubrication oil after an initial period of operation.
