I don’t think engine oil will do any harm, it is thicker but should be ok when it’s warm I personally would leave it in & I’d be surprised if replacing it would make any significant improvement to speed.

I dropped it out , it resembled beeeasting for a fresh calved heifer , took filter out and it looked like 🤢
cleaned inner filter ,and emptied rams best i could ,and flushed it round with a couple of gallon at a time ,
then put new filter in and filled it up , its transformed it , then had return pipe blow of back of spool so got another flush out ,before jumped off seat and got stopper pulled out 🙄 no have bit of baler band ,tied to it , ,then went for a play christmas eve to neighbours , ,on way back thought i would call off and dig little trench through ditch bank in a wet hole so did not have as much to dig by hand ,got bogged backing up to it ,☹️ ,ring wife ,to come with loader and chain to pull me out ,🥰 , then trundled back in dark down lane ,good job no traffic , 🙄

The only difference I can think of is engine oil will collect any moisture in the system and suspend it within the oil making it thick & milky but moisture will separate out of hydraulic oil.
