Pneumatic + Hydraulic = Pneudraulic, used in position Avionics (flight control surfaces), where you want the power of Hydraulics with the vibration dampening of Pneumatics. In this instance, too much oil means the stuff that hits the oil (piston bottoming, oil splasher, ect) ends up putting air into the oil. Oil is dense, air is not. So heat connectivity is minimal when the oil is so high as to make Pneudraulics. ed- Who learned to spell Pneudraulic after all.
