Installing Pedals for the first time - Lithium Grease Ok?

Hi everyone!

I recently bought my first road bike and I have been using platform pedals for the past month on it. I like to learn to do things on my own and I will be installing my pedals as soon as I get my cycling shoes for them.

I was looking around my house for some grease to use and I found: Lubriplate AERO Multi Purpose Lithium Grease.

Looked on amazon and here is the description:
Lubriplate Aero, L0113-086, CTN 36 1¾ Oz Tubes LUBRIPLATE AERO LUBRIPLATE Aero is a neutral lithium base lubricant, manufactured with a light viscosity mineral oil that remains plastic down to -70°F, has an ASTM Dropping Point of over 350°F and is an NLGI No. 1 consistency. LUBRIPLATE Aero is recommended for a large variety of applications: Trailer landing gear cases Speedometers, odometers and tachometers Parking meters -- Change boxes Instruments -- Gaming machines Garage and door opening mechanisms Cables of various types Steering columns and gear cases TV antenna gear boxes O-Ring and seal lubrication Railway switch and signal equipment Advantages - Low Torque start-up capability - Corrosion and oxidation resistant - Long lasting film strength over a wide temperature range - Outstanding aniline point of base oil offers excellent compatibility with exotic metals, plastics and rubber materials Typical Tests Type of Base Lithium Worked Penetration @ 77°F 310 to 340 NLGI No. 1 Mineral Oil Viscosity SUS @ 100°F 100 cSt @ 40°C 19 Aniline Point 205+ ASTM Dropping Point 381°F/194°C Norma Hoffman Oxidation Bomb Less than 5 psi/1000 Hours Color Off-White Return Policy Returns Our policy lasts 30 days.

Would this be ok to use for my pedals or should I look around to see if I have any other grease in my house or buy something else?
