Grease and oil compatibility table

This compatibility table provides guidance on whether different Interflon greases and base oils can be safely mixed. It covers a wide range of thickener types, including lithium-complex, calcium-sulfonate, aluminium-complex, and more, as well as various mineral and synthetic base oils. 
A green check mark (✓) indicates compatibility, while others may require further testing or are not recommended for mixing. 
The table also outlines important conditions under which metal soap thickeners might still be safely combined, such as compatible base oils, operating temperatures below 100°C, and open applications where purging is possible. If these conditions aren’t met, mixing is strongly discouraged. This tool is especially useful for maintenance professionals and engineers aiming to avoid lubrication failures due to grease incompatibility.
