I just heard some new-to-me information on this (3rd hand-use at your own risk).
As stated above, Hartzell has switched to a Nyco grease, which absolutely may
not be mixed with Aeroshell 5 or 6. However (this is the new info) they are
now recommending that, as long as you don't operate in truly cold temperatures
(below -40 F/C), you should use Aeroshell 5 for all future additions of grease
(assuming you now have Aeroshell 6, and aren't ready to do an Overhaul to completely
remove the existing #6 and switch to Nyco).
Apparently the formulation of Aeroshell 6 was changed a few years back, and Hartzell
is not happy with the new stuff. After about a year it tends to separate
into a clay like compound, and a thin runny oily liquid (I have seen this myself,
a thin oily liquid ran out of my grease gun after sitting a year).
