Mistakenly agrees to provide lubricant (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grease

'lubricant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'mistakenly agrees' is the wordplay.
'mistakenly' is an anagram indicator.
'agrees' is an anagram of 'GREASE'.

'to provide' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for grease that I've seen before include "Fat, film" , "Mechanic (informal)" , "Rock musical" , "bribe" , "A thick oily substance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
