I have Speedplay Frog pedals on 4 bikes. A lotta pedals, some rebuilding, some routine maintenace greasing goes on here.

Now here is a replacement for the grease cartridge that came with my Speedplay gun($28 for a 3oz cartridge):

I saw some mini gun marine grease refills at my local auto parts store; 3 cartridges for $5.

I prefer not to do a cheapskate brainfart and need to ask whether or not my Frogs really care what gets squirted in there?

It appears you are in the Bay Area. If so, go down to the Orchard Supply Hardware and get the 3-pack marine grease from Sta-Lube. That's what I used for all (3) of my Speedplay X pedals. Never had any issue.

did not want to poison the Frogs.

This happened after a very small dose of marine grease. Use caution.
