Lube throttle linkages with ATF?

Hi,

Tomorrow when I change my oil I want to lube up the throttle linkages I see. RIght now they are real dirty and filled with some grease. I want to clean them out with a paper towel, and then lube them up.
I have read on here to use ATF. Why? It is reallyt light, and isnt going to stay in the linkages.
Ill use it, but Id like to know why it is suggested.
Or, is wheel bearing grease a better bet, its tough stuff...
Thanks

JMH
