The grease that was used on a Dexter axle was black lithium. The grease from the factory is red. Can you mix different colors of grease? It was a multi purpose grease.

Hey Stephen, yes you can mix black lithium grease with LMX Red like what you have as the two are lithium based which allows for mixing them.
For a cartridge of red LMX we have the part # L11390 or for a 16 oz can of it we have the part # L11380. Generally people consider the Red LMX to be the best available grease so going this route would be best option.
