Additives.
See, both hydraulic and engine oils are made from base oils with additives mixed in. The additives used change the characteristics of the oils so that they function differently.
Generally, hydraulic oils (final product including additives) are expected to have very low compressibility and very predictable friction and viscosity stability under pressure.
Generally engine oils (Engine Lubrication Oils anyway) are intended to have high resistance to heat (degradation including chemical and viscosity due to heat) resistence to burning and resistance to absorption of fuels and chemical compounds produced during combustion.
Both classes of oils are likely to have additives intended to provide detergency and to reduce foaming.
Base oils are most commonly petroleum oil bases due to cost, but other bases oil can be used including mineral oils (especially for hydraulic oils) and plant oils (especially for engine oils) and oils from animal sources.
What else can I help you with?
Main difference between hydraulic and lubricating oil?
engine oil is thick than hydraulic oil
Difference between hydraulic fluid and hydraulic oil?
There is no difference that I am aware of. These terms seem to be used interchangably.
What is the meaning of a hydraulic oil 68 and hydraulic oil 46?
Engine oil No. 46 how does this relates to the engine oil type xxWxx?
Is there a difference between engine oil and motor oil?
no
What is the difference between HD-46 and HD-68 Hydraulic oil?
Basically, the only difference between HD-46 and HD-68 hydraulic oils is the weight of the product. HD-46 is a 15 weight oil, but HD-68 is a 20 weight oil.
Can you mix hydraulic oil in engine oil in a Cat C-15?
you can not mix hydraulic oil in engine oil because if you do a fire will occure and then you will blow up in a million pieces.
How much oil goes in a tractor?
Depends largely on engine size. Bigger engines need more oil. Tractors require both engine and hydraulic oil. The hydraulic oil is used both by the hydraulic pump and by the transmission.
Can you use hydraulic oil in your engine?
No, absolutely not.
Difference between 68 and 32 hydraulic oil?
The primary difference between 68 and 32 hydraulic oil lies in their viscosity grades, which indicates how thick or thin the oil is. Hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of 68 has a higher viscosity compared to 32, making it thicker and providing better film strength at higher temperatures. As a result, 68 hydraulic oil is typically used in applications requiring higher load capacities or operating temperatures, while 32 hydraulic oil is suited for lighter-duty applications or cooler environments. Choosing the correct viscosity is crucial for optimal performance and protection of hydraulic systems.
How does hydraulic fluid get in engine oil?
Hydraulic fluid can enter engine oil primarily through leaks or failures in the hydraulic system, often related to components like hydraulic pumps or actuators that share a common lubrication system with the engine. Contamination can also occur if seals or gaskets fail, allowing hydraulic fluid to mix with engine oil. Additionally, improper maintenance or fluid changes can lead to cross-contamination between the two systems. Regular checks and maintenance are essential to prevent this issue and ensure optimal engine performance.
How do excavators work?
The engine powers a hydraulic pump, which then push the hydraulic oil to the pistons.

it's lubricating properties
