Oil
Oil was a slippery substance used as a lubricant for mechanical devices. Droids were often given oil baths to remove contaminants from their mechanical parts. At times, though, oil could get clogged in a droid's photoreceptors. On Drexel, Governor Quarg's band of marooned pirates procured oil by extracting it from the planet's native fish population. When C-3PO was treated to an oil bath that used this particular type of oil, he remarked that his olfactory sensors were strangely affected by it. Petroleum was a type of oil that was used in the processing of plastics.
