Dennis,

Shell Diala-AX or equivalent HV oil is the thing to use. The best part is
it's often cheaper than the other fluids people use (mineral oil, etc.).
the last bucket I purchased was $24.95 for 5-gallons.

Regards,
Brian B.

PS - Check you local phone book for a Shell jobber or ask a Shell station
for the name/number of their oil supplier...

Hi guys,
I've heard a lot of refrences to mineral spirits, mineral oil, and high 
voltage oil. What I'm really looking for is something to submerge my cap in. 
I heard that some plain ol' motor oil works good, and also that regular 
vegtable oil works as well. Any help would be appreciated. 
Thanks,
Dennis
