We're changing out the hydraulic oils from our CNC machines. Are there any good uses for the old hydraulic oil? We were thinking of adding it to our cutting oil for use in our automatic screw machines. Thanks in advance, Dave
Probably not a brilliant idea, even if the hydraulic oil is a mineral oil rather than a glycol it will have a very different set of additives, which may interact in unexpected ways. What are the oils?

Call the local oil collection guys (or your source for the new oil) and recycle it.

Shrug..I do it all the time. Doesnt seem to effect things negatively. I use a lot of it as coolant on the horizontal band saws.
