White Lithium vs. "Strawberry Jam" grease

Our team is modifying the Andymark Toughboxes to have different gear ratios. As such, we have purchased some gears from VexPro, but unfortunately we don't have more of the "strawberry jam" grease that came with the toughboxes in the kitbot chassis.

I intend on running to the local hardware store tomorrow to acquire white lithium grease, but we're wondering if we need to clean out the toughboxes of the "strawberry jam". Like, if there's some of it left, will it react with the white lithium and cause an explosion or something of the sort (exaggerated, but you get the idea )?

Also, what's the official name for that grease? We all call it "strawberry jam" because it looks like it... except that it's not.
