A lubricant composition is disclosed. The lubricant composition provides lubrication between metal parts, is able to clean metal parts and prevent build-up of contaminants within the lubricant composition. The lubricant composition includes a plurality of heptane aliphatic hydrocarbons, a non-heptane aliphatic hydrocarbon, a naphthenic petroleum base oil, an octadecenoic acid, and an ethoxylated alcohol. The plurality of heptane aliphatic hydrocarbons may include one-third branched heptanes, one-third cyclic heptanes, and one-third linear n-heptane. The non-heptane aliphatic hydrocarbon may be any aliphatic hydrocarbon with fewer than six carbon atoms that are not linked in a ring formation. The octadecenoic acid in the lubricant composition is generally 9-octadecenoic acid.
