I have a really obscure and random question. I’m curious if anyone knows what kind of grease that Ford uses from the factory to lubricate the roller hinges on each side for the rear seat bench that folds up?

Reason I’m asking is that my OCD is going crazy as I picked up pad Thai from a restaurant the other day and some of the oil leaked through the bag that was sitting in the rear seat. I’m pretty sure that I cleaned it all but was worried that some dripped onto the roller hinge through a crevice in the seat? I wiped the area with with a shop towel and there was a yellowish residue. I’m pretty sure that it’s lubricating grease but just wanted to confirm.

I know that I sound crazy haha.
I attached a photo showing where the hinge is just below the seat (circled in red).

most definitely yellowish petroleum based with some detergent(thickening agent) for staying put and hold) grease. At the interior of doors(found when and hinges, the grease is a soft, medium one, There is no need to go to a specialty lubricant (no silicone grease, or anything rare). Use a dishwasher soap and clean with water two or three times if you need to clean anything. Even baby wipes would help. Even some window cleaning liquid (made of mild soap + a little of isopropyl alcohol) would help.
