So in this situation, does oil/grease reduce wear or increase it with grinding paste effect? ... I think it reduces it.

It reduces it - as it lessens the metal on metal contact - any particles of steel are in suspension in the oil or grease which provides a film buffer.
The oil or grease may attract other contaminants depending on the ground conditions - but they should be less hard than the steel.
Hardened Steel - 7.5 to 8 on Moh hardness scale
Granite/Quartz - 7 hardness
General road crap - less than 7 unless you are driving over powdered diamonds or silicon carbide etc
My 2p worth.

A lort of people who have done daft things when young.the man is very intelligent. I have met him and he is a good un
