I need to use my Jacking beam tomorrow but it is low on oil (leaks a little out of the relief valve shaft when it is open), in the current situation I have no way of getting any hydraulic Jack oil, but I do have a large collection of engine oils and gear oils, the Jack oil looks similar viscosity to engine oil, anyone any idea If this would work?

Google suggests that Jack oil is between ISO 22-32, which is 5W-10W.

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.

Pretty much all jacks/ramps/jacking beams will be on ISO32 these days. I believe it’s all still mineral based.
Personally I wouldn’t mix it with anything else, more cos I hate rebuilding hydraulics than the chances of it dropping a car on my head until supported.
You can buy ISO32 cheap off GSF with a discount code and next day delivery. It’s literally cheaper than anywhere else.
