hydraulic jack oil replacement

Power steering fluid, although light hydraulic fluid is cheaper. I used light hydraulic fluid in my power steering that leaked like a sieve for a while to get me thru the winter until I could replace the leaky discharge hose.
If you have PS fluid already, if should work just fine (but it's gonna leak out too)

He could use the fix-a-flat...
I don't have any hydraulic jack oil and my cheapo jack leaks like a sieve. What do you suggest is best replacement for the oil?
auto transmission fluid? brake fluid? power steering fluid? motor oil?
Anyone notice the large increase of trolling going on in here lately?
Get the used cooking oil from McDonalds.
Honestly, a leaking jack wouldn't hold anything up

"Best" would be to go buy some (it's inexpensive) and you could have gone and been back several times over by the time you asked... :)
As someone else noted, don't trust a jack that's leaking w/ even close to a pinkie-smash...
You're welcome, Peabody.

Power steering fluid it is.
Thanks, Sherman
