Basically, grease is a solid or semi – solid lubricant. Think of oil, but thicker. It’s made up of base oils, thickeners, and additives. Those additives help it handle high temperatures, resist water, and generally just last longer under tough conditions. It's designed to stay put where you put it, unlike oil which circulates. It’s used in a ton of places. Primarily on parts that move with friction but don’t necessarily need a constant flow of oil. Things like ball joints, U – joints, wheel bearings, chassis parts, even inside some CV joints. It coats the metal surfaces, preventing them from rubbing directly against each other. It acts like a shield against wear and tear. You’ll also find specialized greases for things like brake components or even electrical connections. Without grease, metal – on – metal contact happens pretty quickly. That creates heat, friction, and ultimately, wear. Parts will start squeaking, then they’ll get stiff, and eventually they’ll fail. Replacing those parts is always more expensive and time – consuming than just re – greasing them regularly. Think of it as preventative maintenance. Keeping things properly greased extends the life of those components. You’ll notice if something isn’t greased—usually with a clunking sound or stiffness when you turn or go over bumps.
