Luckily, I don't have to mess with a paint stripping hydraulic oil like Skydrol. That stuff is mostly used on the big airplanes. The helicopters I work on still used more simple fluids & lubricants.
Even MIL-H-5606 hydraulic oil has a tendency to separate & grow microbials & fungus. None of them are perect. The main thing is whether you can procure the stuff locally or at least easilly from some out of town vendor.
