The present disclosure provides a lithium complex grease with high-temperature resistivity and a method of using the same. The lithium complex grease includes: a lithium complex thickener, a friction modifier, a polymer or copolymer, and at least one synthetic base oil with alkylated naphthalene. The lithium complex grease can be substantially free of polytetrafluoroethylene. Furthermore, the lithium complex grease provides a median failure rate via a ball bearing test (e.g., using the FE9 grease life test method of DIN 51 821) performed at 160 C. of no less than 100 hours.

Provided is a mixed grease containing a grease (A) prepared from a base oil (a1) and a thickening agent (a2) that is a lithium soap consisting of a lithium salt of a monovalent fatty acid, and a grease (B) prepared from a base oil (b1) and a thickening agent (b2) that is a lithium complex soap consisting of a lithium salt of a monovalent fatty acid and a lithium salt of a divalent fatty acid. The mixed grease has good wear resistance and load bearing properties and has excellent grease leakage preventing properties.
