Plastic gears and grease - I've had and still do have a number of Singers and others with plastic gears. With one exception; a Kenmore Sensor Sew 100, every machine with plastic gears had grease on the gears. Some was an amber color, some was icky black, some was whitish. But all had greased gears.
So, on those I've cleaned and serviced I use Tri-Flow or the white Singer gear lube.

Same here all ones with plastic gears had grease on there gears. Some of the older machines had there service stickers on them still. Yes some of the grease was brown, off white, inky black and a few harden up grease. And on those I didn't notice any cracks or damage on the gears. Like Joe I replaced it with Singer grease lube.
