Is Calcium Sulfonate Grease Compatible With Red Grease In Trailer Hub?
Question:
I have a a regular trailer. The bearings have a red colored grease. Is the Lubrimatic marine corrosion control grease compatible or do I have to clean out the red stuff to replace with the marine grease

Helpful Expert Reply:
Red grease such as the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease - 14 oz. Cartridge # L11390 is a lithium complex grease and is compatible with the calcium sulfonate complex based Grease # LOC64FR you were looking at. As long as you can confirm your current grease is lithium based like the one above you will not have any issues.
With that said I would personally go ahead and clean out the old grease before using the grease you mentioned as doing so makes it so you will avoid any possible compatibility issues.
I included videos of the greases mentioned and a link to a helpful article on grease compatibility for you to take a look at.
