Can you mix hydraulic fluid with motor oil?

Not a good idea. Viscosity and thermal properties will be different. They might also react differently with rubber seals, causing them to swell or shrink, which could cause a leak. Best to use the correct hydraulic fluid, or motor oil that was originally intended for the job.
