    Identification:

    Oil Analysis: Laboratory testing to assess compatibility of different oils.
    Review Specifications: Comparing the chemical and physical properties of oils.
    Manufacturer Guidance: Consulting equipment and oil manufacturers for compatibility data.
    Resolution:

    Avoid Mixing Oils: Use the same oil type and brand whenever possible.
    System Flushing: If changing oil types, thoroughly flush the system to remove the previous oil.
    Compatibility Testing: Perform compatibility tests before introducing a new oil.
    Addressing compatibility ensures that oil performance is not compromised, preventing issues like additive depletion or sludge formation.
