Yes, a hydraulic car jack can be safe to use when operated correctly and maintained properly. It's important to ensure that the jack is rated for the weight of the vehicle and to use it on a stable, level surface. Always use jack stands for added safety after lifting the vehicle, as hydraulic jacks can fail over time or lose pressure. Regular inspection and maintenance of the jack can also enhance its safety.

These jacks generally use hydraulic oil to operate the hydraulic system. There are a number of different types of oil for these jacks, but they are so similar that they are often marketed as "hydraulic jack oil" and there is little to no differentiation.
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.
