WHo can help me to know about the Hicsrew Oil 2000, which is used for Hitachi air compressor?
What is base oil, viscosity, and how long can this oil last in standard condition?

Many of the Japanese manufacturers tend to approve their own OE oils. These are either "rebrand" of a leading Lube company brand, by the OE or "toll blended" and labelled with OEM nomenclature and carries an OE spare part number.
It is less likely to be "custom built." Analysis of a typical OE hydraulic oil would reveal the physiochemical characteristics, additive package base oil etc.., to be similar to an off-the-shelf hydraulic oil.
You may like to give a sample of the oil to your existing Lube supplier for analysis and offer of a equivalent grade.

Dear Hussam,
thank for your comment. However some people said Hiscrew 2000 has ISO VG 32 while other said this is 46.

All Oil companies follow the ISO 3448 procedure for nomenclature and viscometrics.
The entry on the HISCREW 2000 brochure mentions as follows:
" More reliable lubricating Oil. After testing 2000 blends of oil, we developeda new type of synthetic oil for the HICSREW 2000 series. The new oil has long life, so the oil charge cycle is two years. Initial ration is 20% less than conventional models."

Would recommend that you send a sample to a laboratory and obtain the viscometrics.
