Not a good idea to mix greases. Usually it is ok, but I have seen cases where the result has been severe corrosion (hard experience). Best to clean it all out and start fresh, or leave it be.

 If the action feels good in both directions, there's no end-play, & the cu=
ps aren't turning, they're likely OK.Often an early sign of failure is when=
 the cups start to turn; I paint reference marks on the end of the cup & yo=
ke so it's obvious if they're moving around.Personally if I were to go thro=
ugh the effort of removing them for servicing, they're cheap enough that I =
would fit new ones & 0-time it...
