So I was just about to give my bearings a shot of grease, and I was all out. So I went to wal-mart to buy the pack of grease when I saw that there is a marine grade and the regular old grade grease. Both are the same manufacturer, and I have read all day online where people say never mix, all the way to mix all the time? The brand is the same, I had new hubs and leaf springs put on last year, any advice on this? I bought the marine grade figuring I could use that, should I go back and get the blue tubes of regular stuff? thanks
It doesn’t matter if you mix grease…I would use the marine grease because it has water inhibitors in it

actually, certain greases do not mix well. Mix greases that are incompatible and it turns really runny and washes out. do you know what type of grease you have now? There are several different base types. aluminum, lithium, calcium, etc.
It is best to start fresh with a grease and continue using the same grease, or at least with the same thickener.
