mostly oil

All our the more modern cranes in our fleet use ISO 68 hydraulic fluid. In many cases, the manual calls out for ISO 32, but we use 68. I've talked it over with the manufacturers, and since we live in a hot climate, they agree that is probably equal or better. Or you can consult a fluid power specialist to determine which synthetic fluid might be a good substitute.

The manuals for our very old cranes sometimes calls out for non-detergent 10-wt motor oil, but that is the same thing as what we now call ISO 32.

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.
