Grease consistency grades

Grease is classified by thickness using numbers from 000 to 6, where 000 flows like cooking oil and 6 is nearly solid like a hard soap. Most automotive greases are grade 2, which has a peanut butter-like consistency that stays in place but can still be pumped. The perfect consistency depends on the application: wheel bearings need firmer grease, while tiny watch parts need softer grease that won't clog delicate mechanisms.
