Changing my tire. Need to know.

Synthetic or regular grease? What viscosity?

Blue or black coloured grease? Maybe red?

Should I wave at people on the sidewalk while I’m working in my garage?

No grease required, your wheels run on permanently greased sealed precision ball bearings (assuming this is a post 60s bike).

You can grease the axle sticks to prevent corossion, keeps the wheel bearings from sticking to the axle making them easier to remove.

Any grease will do - the best is called AstroLube.
