HYD fluid/tranny fluid?

I know I am comparing apples to watermelon here but I have a tranny fluid question. In my race car I have a c-4 and use hydralic fluid for tranny fluid (j20c) to be exact. I have always been told that the Hydralic fluid is superior to tranny fluid for lubrication and doesn't break down near as bad from excessive heat. I was wondering if anybody ever used any in their S/D tranny? I have an 06, F350, 6.0. I am not sure exactly what ranny I have. Any opinions? Thanks Greg W.

You have a 5R110. (Assuming you have an automatic) You don't want to be using anything but Mercon SP or LV.
