So I took my lawn mower in for service because I didn't have the time. Normally I do it myself. I have always used the Lucas Xtra Heavy Duty grease on the entire machine, spindles and all. I started using it a long time ago because of its water resistance and my mower unfortunately does get rained on a lot. Well the mower place I took it used Lucas marine grease. They said that's what they always use because it lasts the longest in wet conditions (we mow a lot of wet grass here). So I started looking online for compatibility and saw that shear stable polyurea and calcium sulfonate greases are compatible. Well this goes beyond that and they are blatantly mixed now. I am mostly concerned about inside of the deck spindles where it isn't possible to get it out without complete disassembly and then dealing with reassembly and bearing preloads and such. So the root of my question is will these greases be okay and should I continue using the marine grease now or go back to the Xtra Heavy Duty?
