Confused about oil paint and latex?

I'm going to be painting my ceiling, which has stains and all the advice I've read says to use Kilz primer. I have also read that putting latex over oil based is bad. So if Kilz is oil based then wouldn't it be bad to put latex over it.?Confused about oil paint and latex?
Kilz is formulate to use both water and oil based paint over itConfused about oil paint and latex?
yes You can use latex over klutz only because klutz has a bonding agent.Normally you don't use latex over oil or it tends to look like a dried up Lake. Any kind of a primer is needed for switching from oil to latex. good luck
Kilz makes a latex version, check with your local paint store. Also, talk to the paint store staff, they know their products and can recommend what to use.
Kitz is alcohol based so is neither water based or oil based.
Yes, oil breaks it down.
