I've seen this same statement posted here on BF before. But I also read elsewhere (can't recall where) NOT to use Automotive grease on bikes because that is designed for high temperature and has different properties (perhaps thicker) and is not as good for use on bikes. Sorry I don't have a link to post, but google and maybe you'll find better information on the topic.
