Typical risks and how we manage them
Technical honesty: these are the points where a migration can fail and how our protocol anticipates them.
OEM compliance under warranty
If equipment under warranty requires Shell Mediterráneo, wait for warranty expiry before migrating. In the meantime, plan migration for post-warranty.
Thickener compatibility in greases
Some Shell Mediterráneo greases use thickeners incompatible with LUBESOLUT. Documented mechanical flush protocol per critical point before migration.
Existing stock — what to do
Gradual repositioning: use Shell Mediterráneo stock in non-critical applications while validating LUBESOLUT in critical ones. Shell Mediterráneo stock depletes naturally in 3-9 months.
