The LubriMatic Wheel Bearing Grease for Disc and Drum Brake Applications part # L11465 has a petroleum base so as long as the grease you are wanting to mix this with also has a petroleum base there should not be any issues. If it uses any other base then you would want to completely clean and repack the hubs.
