Oil bath

Legends Canon version → Linked from 66 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Oil baths, also known as lubrication baths, were a means of removing such things as dust, dirt, and various other forms of matter that collected in a droid's joints and sockets, similar to a regular water bath for Humans. Without treatment, the debris could cause the joints to become difficult to move or lock up altogether, a condition known as dust contamination.
