Oil help please?

[Attatood]

I have recently purchased a Case 1835 Skid Steer at an auction. I have operated them before but have never owned one or had to look after the maintenance. When I bought the machine, the hydraulic reservoir was very low so I topped it up with hydraulic fluid and everything runs well. However, I just bought the owners manual online and it states that the reservoir should be filled with motor oil and an additive from Case. Is there a difference or will the machine be fine with hydraulic oil? Any help is appreciated because I don't know much about these systems.

Thanks.
