    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.
