I am not familiar with your system.  If the oil came out of something that
has  moving metal parts, the oil will be full of microscopic metal
particals.  I would think microscopic metal particals inside of a capacitor
would be bad.    If you drop a magnet into oil with microscopic metal in it,
the magnet gets covered with something that looks about like mud.  It takes
several months for a magnet to catch the metal and I am not sure if it will
ever remove it all. If the oil is FREE I would get it anyway, then do some
experements to see if it will work.
