[QUOTE="Fabricator, post: 120858, member: 1349"] Well, as noted above, motor oil has about the same flash point as hydraulic oil, so you (and he) traded one flammable liquid for another flammable liquid - and potential created issues in the process with a fluid that didn't meet the manufacturer's recommendations. As the others have said, maintenance is more important in preventing fires than using alternate fluids. Keeping a fire extinguisher handy would be another recommendation. [/QUOTE]
