A grease composition for resin lubrication, the grease composition to be applied to a sliding surface made of resin, the grease composition containing: a fluorine-based base oil (a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 300 mm.sup.2/s or higher) and a synthetic hydrocarbon oil as base oils; a fluorine-based thickener, and a lithium soap thickener or a lithium complex soap thickener as thickeners; and a fluorine-based surfactant and an extreme pressure additive as additives; and a resin sliding member (slide switch) having a sliding surface made of resin, the sliding surface provided by application with the grease composition.

The invention relates to a grease composition having a base oil and a thickener that includes hydrophilic metal oxide particles and one or more esters which contain one or more unsaturated C—C bonds and/or at least one OH group. The hydrophilic metal oxide particles have a BET specific surface area of at least 10 m.sup.2/g and at least 80% of the hydrophilic metal oxide particles have a particle size in the range of from 5 nm to 900 μm. The amount of the thickener is in the range of from 0.1-40% by weight, based on the total weight of the grease composition. The invention further relates to methods for manufacturing the grease compositions, and the use of the grease compositions for lubricating bearings, gears and couplings.
