Honda_Blackbird: Want to know? My take is because it adds an “Air of Mystery” to it… and thusly… you can charge 4-5x more per gallon. It’s genius i tell ya… Evil genius. Like when they put a picture of a motorcycle on a quart of oil, suddenly it’s double the price. No telling what that oil …

I have seen hydraulic fluid labeled as Jack oil and also as hydrualic fluid for jacks,

I just checked my bottle of floor jack fluid (from Car Quest). It’s labeled as “Hydraulic Jack Oil”. Come to think of it: Why do we call it a hydraulic JACK? Are there any Hydraulic JILLS out there? :wink: This isolation is taking its toll on me.

Want to know? My take is because it adds an “Air of Mystery” to it… and thusly… you can charge 4-5x more per gallon. It’s genius i tell ya… Evil genius. All any hydraulic needs to function is a liquid… which as physics dictates…cannot be compressed. You can put tap water into a jack and she wi…

LOL… @Rod_Knox we could discuss “Right to Repair” type stuff… I just rewatched an older video that shows how John Deere has tried to completely remove the farmer from repairing their own (very expensive) equipment by making it nearly impossible to pull codes and read diags to help them repair a …

Honda_Blackbird: any hydraulic needs to function is a liquid… which as physics dictates…cannot be compressed. Liquid can be compressed, just not in a scale that you would notice. If liquid cannot be compressed, sonar would not work

Yep, everything is compressible, water, oil, rock, everything. Just not a lot. For water the compressibility coefficient is around 3/1,000,000 fractional change in volume per psi change in pressure. So nothing you’d ever notice.

Why is it called transmission fluid instead of transmission oil?

They pass 1000’s of new laws. So, pass 1 law to allow repair of tractors only. The combine folks can just deal with it.
