The present invention relates to a grease composition which can impart excellent durability to a bearing used under a high-speed rotation condition with a DN value of 100,000 or more, wherein the grease composition contains a base oil (A) and a urea-based thickener (B), and particles containing the urea-based thickener (B) in the grease composition satisfy requirement (I) that the particles have an arithmetic mean particle diameter of 2.0 μm or less on an area basis when measured by a laser diffraction scattering method. The grease composition is used for a bearing used under a high-speed rotation condition with a DN value of 100,000 or more.

The present disclosure relates to an automotive slide member including a first slide portion having a first lubricant applied between first portions of a first friction slide mechanism, and a second slide portion having a second lubricant applied between second portions of a second friction slide mechanism. The first slide portion is arranged at a part to be touched by an operator who attaches the automotive slide member to an automobile or a user of the automobile. The second slide portion is arranged at a part that is not touched by the operator who attaches the automotive slide member to the automobile or the user of the automobile. The second lubricant contains a relatively larger amount of conductive carbon than that of the first lubricant.
