Can I mix SUPER LUBE with regular grease?

I have acouple of tubes of SUPER LUBE.
I've had my car for a year and I don't know what kind of grease was used(natural or synthetic). My question is would synthetic grease mixed with natural grease from prior lube jobs cause a problem?

No. If you wish, you can over-lube with synthetic and push the old grease out.

In that case mixing bearing grease is just fine.

Good to know, i have always cleaned all the old grease off to inspect the bearings, well it helps if you have access to a solvent tank also as do i?
