Mineral-oil-based grease, derived from petroleum, is usually more economical than synthetic-oil-based grease.Grease with clay thickener has excellent heat resistance and good oxidation resistance.

Grease that cannot be sold to regions outside the United States is restricted by product labeling requirements; grease that cannot be sold to California exceeds local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
