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.
both pneumatic & hydraulic systems are applications of fluid powers
One-way valve is used for the hydraulic fluid does not return.
80 weight hydraulic fluid refers to a specific viscosity grade of hydraulic oil, commonly used in hydraulic systems and equipment. The "80 weight" designation indicates that the fluid has a viscosity similar to that of 80-weight gear oil, which is thicker and provides better lubrication under higher temperatures and pressures. This type of fluid is designed to maintain optimal performance, prevent wear, and ensure efficient operation of hydraulic machinery. It is crucial to use the correct viscosity to match the requirements of the hydraulic system for safety and efficiency.
Automatic Transmission Fluid Type "F"
A hydraulic motor uses hydraulic pressure to drive it. Simplest hydraulic motor is a water wheel which uses a directed water stream to move it. Hydraulic motors are used to operate other equipment directly. A hydraulic pump on the other hand is used to move hydraulic fluid for use elsewhere. Hydraulic pumps are powered by motors or engines and are not used to operate other equipment directly. Internally pumps and motors are quite different and cannot typically be interchanged.
In some cases, yes but NOT for hydraulic BRAKE fluid.
The type of fluid used in maintaining the performance of MTB hydraulic brake systems is mineral oil.

Hydraulic fluid?? Are you referring to Brake fluid? Dot 3.
DOT ( 3 ) brake fluid is used for the hydraulic clutch in a Ford Ranger
Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid with very specific properties. Use exactly what the manufacture specifies for your particular braking system.
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.
DOT 3 Brake fluid or any hydraulic fluid, id ask your mechanic to be sure, but most require DOT 3.
No, brake fluid should not be used in a hydraulic floor jack. Brake fluid is designed for braking systems and can damage the seals and components of a floor jack, leading to leaks and potential failure. Hydraulic jacks typically require specific hydraulic fluid, which is formulated to work safely and effectively with their internal mechanisms. Always check the manufacturer’s specifications for the appropriate fluid to use.
The recommended type of hydraulic brake fluid for mountain bikes is mineral oil.
D.O.T. 3 or 4 Brake Fluid
The fluid used for the hydraulic clutch is DOT 3 brake fluid
