can you use oil based primer on wood and follow with latex paint? Exterior paint if it matters.

Yes, why did you buy it that way if you don't mind me asking?

Won't be an issue
It's ideal to stick to the same in theory but I haven't ever seen any real difference with oil primers and latex coating honestly.
Don't go with a latex primer and oil based paint though.
(Not a painter, but worked in the distribution side of coatings)

Its what I have available without going back to the store. Knew I had primer when I bought paint but didn't look at what type of primer.

Ah..I gotcha.. Yeah I did the same except on the inside. I was repainting walls ceiling and trim and realized my primer was oil based and all the other paint was latex ... It turned out fine..

Does this work only for primer? I remember years ago trying to cover an interior oil based paint with latex Kilz and then latex paint and having a hard time.

believe so, if you're repainting over oil based paint I've always been told to use a clear shellac primer/sealer first that way the latex with bond to the walls. Because you just slap latex anything on the oil based paint it will chip away quite easily.
