Multipurpose Grease

Multipurpose grease is a lubricating grease sold for several ordinary jobs: chassis fittings, hinges, and light bearings. The post here reviews an STP all-purpose grease and keeps that product in the lubricant family.

Multipurpose does not mean the grease belongs in a kitchen fryer, a grease trap, or a rendering spec. It means the tube is aimed at more than one machine point. The thickener and the base oil still have to match the job.

The article is a product note so the name is not mixed up with yellow grease or used cooking oil. Read it for what the product claims to do, then look up a data sheet before you pick a grease for a bearing.
