Is molybdenum grease compatible with regular wheel bearing grease, or, if I add one to the other will they break eachother down? I'm getting ready to install some rear wheel bearings on my '82 245, and the new bearings arrived with some grease already present. If I pack 'em with a moly grease, would that be better or worse?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Normally, moly isn't used in wheel bearings.

The compatibility problem is not really in use of moly, but the soap used to hold the grease. The most common is lithium based. Don't overpack!
