Hydraulic fluid is almost all light petroleum oil, similar to SAE 10W without
so
much detergent. Brake fluid is glycol-ether based because petroleum would ruin
all the seals -- oh, you said that, didn't you?

Hudraulic fluid? What is the chemical difference on hydraulic fluid and
brake fluid? I thought brake fluid was a variation of hydraulic fluid. But,
about 30 years ago, I made a mistake of adding brake fluid to hyrdaulic jack
and
ruined all rubber components.
