I save most of my drained hydraulic oil in 5 gallon oil buckets and let the water settle out for months. Then I pour the top half of the settled oil into a marked, clean 5 gallon container. I then pour the second half until it starts looking contaminated. The last part of contaminated oil and water gets used to settle road dust when it is needed.
I have had good luck using the recycled oil in my tractors. It can be tested by putting some on a hot exhaust manifold. If it just smokes, it is OK. If it sizzles, it still has water in it.
I tried freezing the water in the bottom of a settled out 5 gallon bucket. It worked, but it took quite awhile for it to pour out, since the oil was also very cold and thick. I think my way is easier.
There are 4 or 5 buckets of hydraulic oil settling out in my garage, and a couple of buckets of oil that I have already reclaimed. Probably a pretty good time to do some pouring, glad you reminded me I need to do that. And the road is dusty!
