Field behaviour

Water: Hygroscopic — absorbs moisture rather than separating it; drain the sump low point weekly in humid plants.

Seals: Viton and PTFE. Attacks some alkyd paints and polycarbonate bowls.

Varnish tendency: Lowest of all common stocks.

Verdict
Never mix

These chemistries react or separate — expect gel, sludge, separator plugging and possible airend damage. Full drain, flush and seal review.

Properties above are typical published values, not specification limits, and equivalents share a base stock and a similar additive package — they are a sourcing starting point, not an OEM approval. Confirm against the current fluid data sheet and document any change on the service report. See the oil selection guide and the fluid cross-reference.
