'Grease' is nothing more than regular pourable lube mixed with clay or maybe 
a stearate to thicken it like cake batter so it doesn't flow. Over a long 
period, the liquid will separate or evaporate, leaving a hard substance behind. 
This is what we find in our window lifts and wiper gearboxes. If the bearings or 
whatever you're trying to lube are designed to tolerate the thickeners, then 
no harm is done. I have no idea what a "zero weight" grease might be- they 
aren't normally sold by 'weights'.   I have 'instrument', 'chassis' and 'high 
temp' greases in the shop. My 2¢- J DeRyke
