In my race cars that I had, the parts were almost always new when I applied the grease to the tie rod ends and other parts. With my Harley, I disassembled the wheel and swing arm bearings and then lubed them with the synthetic grease. I do know that when I was in the military the pertoleum base and synthetic grease were constantly mixed. I noticed after disassembling some parts that it appeared the two lubes mixed well. I am sure that there is someone on this forum that has mixed the two greases and probably could answer better. Hope this helps. Cheers.
