'Oil the wheels' = tra dầu vào bánh xe -> nghĩa là làm cho công việc được suôn sẻ bằng cách đối xử tế nhị hoặc khôn khéo; đút lót (to make it easier for something to happen); chính là "bôi trơn" đấy các bạn :)
Ví dụ

While the original cards were designed to help artists get out of a creative rut, Buxton’s are made to oil the wheels of conversation — and they work beautifully.
Alan Johnson MP would go on to hold several ministerial positions, including Home Secretary. Even in opposition, he would help oil the wheels of the deal which brought Siemens to Hull.
