The present invention provides a grease composition capable of securely preventing an abnormal noise from being generated when it is cold and having a long life at a high temperature, and a rolling bearing in which this grease is enclosed. The grease composition having heat-resistant properties and performance of preventing the generation of a low-temperature abnormal noise contains a base oil, a thickener, and an additive, and is used for a rolling bearing. A worked penetration of the grease composition at 25° C. is 300 or less, and an unworked penetration thereof at −20° C. is 200 or more. The grease-enclosed rolling bearing has an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling elements interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, and the above-described grease composition enclosed on a periphery of the rolling elements. The grease-enclosed rolling bearing is used for an automotive electric auxiliary machine. |
