can you use water-based paint over oil-based primer? You can use water-based paint on oil-based primer. But, with its environmentally friendly solvents, we'd always think of the penguins and recommend water-based primers instead of oil.
You can paint with water based paint over oil primer! That's fine because the primer finishes flat and the latex can grip to it.
In order for your new paint to form a good bond with the existing paint, it's important that the two paints are compatible. Don't apply oil-based paint over latex; but you can put latex paint over oil-based, as long as you prepare the surface properly first.

Once you've completed your last coat of primer, you should go ahead and sand before applying your first coat of base color. However, there is no reason at all to sand between coats of primer. It will only add more work to your plate with no visible benefits.
It's recommended to wait at least 24 hours before adding a coat of paint over your primer. Painting over it soon could cause your paint to adhere to the wall improperly, flaking and peeling.
Once opened, you may get around two years out of your primer purchase. While the average shelf life may be estimated to be anywhere between two to ten years, it is important to inspect your primer and test it before using it on any other projects.

Latex paints will not stick to oil based paints. The exception is that an oil based primer may accept any kind of top coat paint. For that reason, an oil based primer is recommended to be applied over any oil based top coat, then a water based paint may be used as a top coat.

They literally won't “bond” in the scientific sense. So, if you try to layer a water-based paint on top of an oil-based color, you'll end up with a decorator's emergency when the paints naturally repel as they dry.
