Grease is simply an oil mixed with some sort of soap.

There are several type of grease depending on the type of the oil used, 
and also the type of soap.

FWIW, there now exists grease based on synthetic oil which in many 
applications probably would perform better and last longer then 
conventional grease/oil.
