I have been using Lithium Grease, is this wrong?

.

Probably not 'wrong', but [in my opinion] Rocol RTD compound is better.

P.S. … No need to buy the big tub; a 50g tube goes a long way

As Michael says its not ideal but better than nothing.

I tend to use one of the more liquid products, CT-90, Dormer do a similar product called "Super cut"

[MWParticipant @mw27036]

I tend to use the more viscous molybdenum-disulphide for large threads into steels and for smaller threads I use the more liquid rock oil cutting fluid. Before then as a cheap substitute I used Vaseline!
