No, the ideal grease will not change from a solid to an ever
thinner liquid then burn up. If you're playing around with
alternative household products then the closest thing would
probably be a synthetic bearing grease with copper in it.
There is no need for substitutes though, just use the proper
grease... it's made to do this job(!).
