I've got an "ProLift F2365" that is only lifting to 4 inches, and I'm unable to put my fixed tire onto the lugs. Snowing here in new England (what else is new) with 3 to 6 inches by morning. I need to get this tire re-mounted on it's wheel tonight.
Can I use "Baby Oil" or 2 cycle oil to get this thing to move? I've no brake or AT Trans fluid, and if not for the tire being off, I'd be able to go and get something. Anyone have an idea?

Thanks,
Dexter55
 
Baby oil should be fine. It's food grade and very pure. If at some point you want to replace it, use jack oil. Available most anywhere. Or generic power steering oil.
 
I am pretty sure most any thin oil will work, BUT, I would think you would want to get it out and put in the right stuff asap.

If not you should get one, you always should have a jack in the vehicle.
