Grease has its place with some applications. I would hesitate to use it in the winch housing with gears unless you fill the housing completely. Over time the grease will be forced away from the moving parts which would then become dry. Filling it completely will circulate the grease and keep the parts lubricated. Normally SAE 90W is used and can be mixed with some STP or Lucas additives for additional lubrication. Just my opinion
