Causes:
High Temperatures: Accelerate chemical reactions with oxygen.
Presence of Metals: Catalyze oxidation processes.
Contaminants: Water and particles promote oxidation.
Mitigation:Temperature Control: Maintaining recommended operating temperatures.
Antioxidant Additives: Inhibiting oxidation reactions.
Contamination Prevention: Keeping the oil clean and dry.
Regular Monitoring: Detecting early signs of oxidation.
