Yes, but it depends on the system. Do not use anything not recomended by the manufacturer.

Will it harm the hydraulic system if I use a hydraulic fluid instead of hydraulic oil?

Hydraulic fluid is hydraulic oil.... as for the type you use, depends on your system. I used to own two tractor-trailer end dumps, and I actually used ATF rather than hydraulic oil. Check with the OEM for your hydraulic system before you do this, though.

Can I use hydraulic fluid instead of hydraulic oil?

Hydraulic fluid and hydraulic oil are often used interchangeably, but they can have different properties depending on their formulation. Hydraulic fluid typically refers to any fluid used in hydraulic systems, including water-based fluids, while hydraulic oil usually refers to petroleum-based or synthetic oils designed specifically for hydraulic applications. It’s essential to use the fluid specified by the equipment manufacturer to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage. Always check compatibility and specifications before making a substitution.

Would 80w90 gear oil work in a hydraulic jack?

No. Only hydraulic oil can be used in hydraulic jacks. Hydraulic oil is compressed (a requirement for use in hydraulic cylinders) so that there are no air or other gases dissolved in it. Before adding hydraulic fluid to the jack, be certain that the fluid has been sitting for at least 24 hours to avoid introducing air into the hydraulic fluid in the chamber.You should be able to purchase hydraulic oil (sometimes it will be labeled "Hydraulic Jack Oil/Fluid or Jack Oil/Fluid) in small or large quantities, inexpensively, at any auto parts store worthy of the name. It can also be purchased at some Walmarts and any heavy equipment supply stores.
