They said at the time that heavy oil was a better lubricant than grease but there is no reason chassis grease won't do the job.

You had to keep an eye on the automatic lube system. If a line broke or got plugged up its fitting would receive no oil. Savvy owners or chauffeurs would park the car in the garage over sheets of paper or cardboard, push the button, and examine the pattern of spots to make sure no lube points were missed.
