What are in jacks?
This is a very general question. I am familiar with hydraulic or "bottle" jacks, and I think this is what your question is about. Hydraulic jacks have a pump to force hydraulic fluid into a hydraulic cylinder, which forces it to extend. This action is what raises whatever load you place it under. The fluid is usually pretty specific to the jack. Go to your local hardware store and ask for hydraulic jack oil. I have seen people use transmission fluid in a pinch (way out on the farm, miles from the store).

Would 80w90 gear oil work in a hydraulic jack?
No. Only hydraulic oil can be used in hydraulic jacks. Hydraulic oil is compressed (a requirement for use in hydraulic cylinders) so that there are no air or other gases dissolved in it. Before adding hydraulic fluid to the jack, be certain that the fluid has been sitting for at least 24 hours to avoid introducing air into the hydraulic fluid in the chamber.You should be able to purchase hydraulic oil (sometimes it will be labeled "Hydraulic Jack Oil/Fluid or Jack Oil/Fluid) in small or large quantities, inexpensively, at any auto parts store worthy of the name. It can also be purchased at some Walmarts and any heavy equipment supply stores.
