Oil and Grease Compatibility Testing

Enhance performance and extend the life of your equipment.


To avoid equipment failure and ensure efficient operation throughout your equipment’s lifetime, you must be sure that lubricants you use contain oils or greases that are compatible when mixed together. Combining incompatible oils or greases can damage equipment, increase downtime, create safety hazards and lead to failure.

SGS can help you prevent problems caused by oil or grease incompatibility. Our experts will identify potential issues and enable you to choose appropriate lubricant products so you can ensure your equipment runs smoothly and safely.

Why choose SGS?

As the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, we have been evaluating compatibility tests since before 2005. We took the lead on writing the legacy D7155 method for the ASTM D02.C0 subcommittee on turbine oils and were part of the task group for writing the D6185 grease compatibility test method. Governments and large oil manufacturers rely on us for expert advice on the compatibility of new and in-service oils and greases.
