There can be no one answer to that question. You don't site a specific case. Some cases require a much different viscosity than others. A wheel bearing needs a heavy "grease" where as a watch bearing needs a very light oil in limited amount. Auto engines will very from a 10 w 30 to a 10 w 40 in some areas at different times of year and neither on comes even close to the heavy wheel bearing or the much lighter watch gear.

Molybdenum, as far as infinite binding resistance, but that's not to say that it's the best lubricant, for the application that you need it for. Every application, has it's own needs.

How about 2 opposing magnets as in a magnetic bearing?

Hydraulic oils are most efficient lubricant,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, becoz they are made from new technology,,,,,,,,,,, and even they are used in modern cars becoz of their versatality to maintain lubrication in any atmospheric conditions..........
