Recently bought an electric wood splitter that calls for ISO 22 hydraulic
oil such as Mobil DTE 11. Nearly impossible to even find oil with the
ISO grade label on them unless I want to start with a 5 gallon pail.
Thought Pep-Boys might stock it but no such luck.

Any leads to where I can find consumer sizes?

Put ATF or Power Steering fluid. It will work just as well.

Interesting. No adverse effects over the long term?

I haven't seen a power steering pump blow up yet.

Don't mix synthetic hydraulic oil with organic based unless it has
been specifically formulated to mix. It will gum up and destroy the
seals. Been there, seen that. I serviced some equipment using silicone
based hydraulic fluid and it was destroyed when automatic transmission
fluid was added to the oil supply.

That used to be a good idea in the days when lubricants were all organic
and very similar. Today you really have to know what is compatible and
what isn't.
