Need a greasy expert

Posted by williamf on April 24, 2005 at 03:49:01 from (66.82.9.29):

I read on the labels of grease tubes not to mix greases with different "soaps," as they may be incompatible. I can, I think, understand that if I squirt red extreme pressure grease and white marine boat trailer grease into the same bearing buddy it might clump up and not get into the rollers like it should. But if I use up the four tubes of brown lithium grease that came with my new grease gun in the worn out old bushings on my backhoe that normally get a half a tube a day of the red stuff will that cause a problem?
If the red and brown both say "lithium" is that the "soap," and are they then compatible?
Thanks for any input.
Wm
