So you are better off with cooking oil even if it leaks out?
"A
true grease consists of an oil and/or other fluid lubricant that is mixed with a thickener, typically a
soap, to form a solid or semisolid. Greases are a type of
shear-thinning or
pseudo-plastic fluid, which means that the
viscosity of the fluid is reduced under
shear. After sufficient force to shear the grease has been applied, the viscosity drops and approaches that of the base lubricant, such as the mineral oil."
