Red, yellow and tournament are for bearings (though you could use them on level winds, spindles, knobs on the handles etc, anywhere you would use light oil). The grease stuff is for the gears (or bearings if you want to slow them).

Apply in usual way ... flush bearings with lighter fuel or acetone, dry out and apply a couple of drops.

If you are talking ABU or similar yes if you want to do the gears otherwise you can get at pretty much everything without touching the gearbox. By bearings I mean bearings that are involved in the casting ie spool and spindle bearings depending on the model.
