Lot of stuff is "petroleum" based. Wouldn't want to add a quart of motor oil to the hyd resevoir. Even though both are petroleum based. Some stuff doesn't like to mix, some seals don't like different fluids contacting them. So, my recommendation not to use "petroleum" based fluids should have been more accurate and said non-hydraulic fluid lubricants.
