Disclosed is a method of lubrication including a step of lubricating a machine with a lubricating composition, the lubricating composition including 20-100% ionic liquid or of a mixture of several ionic liquids. The ionic liquid or the mixture is selected from at least: an anion A.sup.− chosen from sulfonylimides, the substituent(s) of which is (are) independently chosen from a fluoroalkyl, fluoroether, perfluorinated alkyl or perfluoroether group; and a cation C.sup.+ including a nitrogen-containing heterocycle or a quaternary ammonium, the substituent(s) of which is (are) independently chosen from: a hydrogen atom or alkyl, alkoxy, fluorinated alkyl, perfluorinated alkyl, alkylsilane, alkyl alcohol, vinyl, alkyl allyl, ether or polyether groups having a linear or branched chain having 1-3 carbon atoms. The deposition start temperature in thin film of the ionic liquid or of the mixture of ionic liquids is at least equal to 330° C. The lubricating composition reduces deposits formed in the machine.
