Hi, (again)
Im wanting to know what oil to use (Im in New Zealand not America) I
have contacted Mobil and Shell (Sell havent got back to me yet) Mobil
carry Mobilect 34 and 35 which are bothe the same transformer oils
except one has an inhibitor added.
Mobil aslo have Whiterex mineral oil which is USP and BP standards
exceeeding.
There are 3 types which differ by their viscosity.
at 20°C one is 24.2cST viscosity another is 124 and the other is 250

What do I use?

Is this Whiterex the equivalent of USP mineral oil?
Thanks in advance,

Matt.
