What type of fluid are you supposed to put in the Hydraulic pump? And how full do you fill it? Thank you

Brad,
On mine the fill cap is on top of the resevoir that the pump is attached to. I use hydraulic oil that I purchased at NAPA. It came in a quart sized plastic bottle. I keep it with all the other fluids (brake fluid, engine oil, etc.) in a special container that is carried in the truck box.

Not to overstate the obvious, but since the brake systems on our vehicles are hydraulic systems, I guess that "brake fluid" is really hydraulic fluid, which is a very light grade oil.
