The friction and wear problems, accompanying all the tribological systems, lead to reduced service life. In order to prevent such situation, it is necessary to maintain fluid friction, which improves durability of all friction nodes in a tribological system. In the paper, the tribological system consists of porous bearings and the model deals with their weakest spots - the oil outflow points in the porous wall. A kinetic model of porous bearings is presented with particular attention given to lubricity of the lubricant, with the following objectives:„ to determine the lubricity (i.e. the load-carrying capacity of boundary layer) of the lubricant, „ to estimate the loads the porous bearing is subjected to, taking into account variation of the loads in time, „ to determine the effect of lubricant lubricity on the porous bearing service life.
