No, you should not use motor oil in a hydraulic jack. Hydraulic jacks are designed to operate with specific hydraulic fluids that have the right viscosity and properties for effective performance and safety. Using motor oil can damage the seals, affect the jack's functionality, and potentially lead to failure. Always refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the appropriate hydraulic fluid.

Hydraulic jacks typically use hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of ISO 32 or ISO 46, depending on the operating temperature and conditions. It's important to check the manufacturer's specifications for the specific hydraulic jack, as some may recommend specific oil types or brands. Using the correct grade ensures efficient operation and longevity of the jack. Always avoid using motor oils or other non-hydraulic fluids, as they can damage the system.

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.
