As title, my trusty old trolley jack needs a top up of oil, what should I be using in it? Can I use brake fluid, or should I be using some sort of special oil just for trolley jacks etc?

Ps – it’s just a small 1.5 tonne car jack.

Thanks in advance

Halfrauds have a specific bottle of trolley jack oil. I would rather use that than anything lying in the garage, like brake fluid................Probably most motorist shops and suppliers have their own stuff too.
