The normal term is lane conditioner. In the early days of Bowling, oil conditioner was applied to the lane as a barrier to protect the surface from damage over years of use.
As lacquer, polyurethane and synthetic surfaces became more popular, oil became part of the sport, much like how grass is grown and cut in Golf courses.

How does friction apply to bowling?
Friction between the bowling ball and the lane helps the ball grip the surface, allowing the bowler to have control over the direction and speed of the ball. The amount of friction can be influenced by factors such as the surface texture of the ball and lane, as well as the amount of oil applied to the lane. Properly managing friction is crucial for achieving desired ball movement and accuracy in bowling.
Why are bowling lanes oiled with more oil placed at the start of the lane and less at the end?
The start of the lane is where the most impact of the ball begins. As more and more balls are thrown on a lane, the oil is carried down the lane and the oil starts to shift more towards the mid and back end of the lane. By having a dry back end of the lane, the ball can react better vs sliding.
