In general, oil is for high-speed applications; grease is for low-speed applications. Oil requires a higher speed to build up hydrodynamic pressures and float the journal. Grease is semi-solid and can support a slow-moving load due to shearing action in the lubricant.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
 
Consult the temperature recommendations for the lubricant.
