Because oils damage rubber seals and hoses in the braking system, brake fluids are not petroleum-based. Most brake fluids used today are glycol-ether based, but mineral oil (Citroën liquide hydraulique minéral (LHM) and silicone (DOT 5) based fluids are also available.

How are a hydraulic motor and hydraulic pump similar?
Hydraulic motors and hydraulic pumps are both components commonly used in hydraulic systems, and while they serve different functions, they share several similarities: Both are Hydraulic Components: Hydraulic motors and hydraulic pumps are both integral parts of hydraulic systems, which utilize pressurized fluid (usually oil) to transmit power. Both Convert Energy: While they convert energy in different ways, both hydraulic motors and pumps are involved in the conversion of mechanical energy to hydraulic energy or vice versa: Hydraulic pumps convert mechanical energy (often from an electric motor or an engine) into hydraulic energy by pressurizing fluid and creating flow. Hydraulic motors, on the other hand, convert hydraulic energy from pressurized fluid into mechanical energy, which can then be used to drive machinery or perform work. Both Operate via Fluid Flow: Both hydraulic motors and pumps operate by controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic pumps create flow by drawing fluid into the pump and then pressurizing it, while hydraulic motors use the pressure of the fluid to generate rotational motion. Both Have Inlet and Outlet Ports: Hydraulic motors and pumps typically have inlet and outlet ports for fluid to enter and exit the component. In pumps, fluid enters through the inlet port and exits through the outlet port, while in motors, fluid enters through the inlet port to create motion and exits through the outlet port. Both Utilize Seals and Bearings: Both hydraulic motors and pumps often contain seals and bearings to prevent leakage and reduce friction, ensuring efficient operation and prolonging the lifespan of the components. Despite these similarities, it's important to note that hydraulic motors and pumps serve different purposes within a hydraulic system and operate in different ways to fulfill those purposes. While pumps are primarily responsible for generating flow and pressure, motors are designed to convert hydraulic energy into mechanical motion.
What kind of fluid is used in aeroplane hydraulic systems?

Can you use hydraulic fluid for brake fluid?
Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid with very specific properties. Use exactly what the manufacture specifies for your particular braking system.
Why is it important to check your brake fluid?
Your brake fluid is how the brake system converts mechanical force of your foot on the brake pedal, into hydraulic force that applies your brakes. Without fluid, your hydraulic brakes will not function.
