I use universal tractor fluid for the hydraulics in my rig. It is available at any farm and garden store, Tractor Supply, Central Tractor, Agway. But most of all, give brake fluid flushed ASAP, I have worked on hydraulic system for decades in all applications and brake fluid will swell the seals and cause them to blow out. Brake fluid is a emergency fix if you get in a jam wear, a seal starts leaking and you want to swell seal to run hydraulic rams a couple more time to close up and get home. Remember that leaking brake fluid eats paint. Good Luck.
