How can turbine oil compatibility issues be identified and resolved?

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.
