        If the category of baseoil is the same (if it is petroleum lubricating oil or other kind of base oilof the same category) grease, grease made of different soap bases orgelatinizers may not be mixed simply in general cases. For some categories ofgrease such as calcium base grease and sodium base grease, or lithium basegrease and compound lithium base grease, etc, they can be mixed in application.Which will generally make their performance change too much or affect theapplication.
       However, as extremepressure type lubricating grease contains various active components, when it ismixed in application, it will generate additives to be mixed making poorergrease colloid stability or mechanical stability, thus affecting the operationperformance. Before mixing different kinds of grease, you should test theperformance of mixed grease and use it after determining that there is noapparent effect.
