No. Hypoid is a term used for a particular way of cutting gears used in, for
isntance, rear ends. HYpoid oil tends to be heavy and formulated to withstand
the shearing action the gears impose on the lubricant. It is not grease.

It's more like Permatex gasket sealer than either. Loctite brand threadlocker
only locks the threaded fastner in place; it does not necessarily *seal*.
