Hi,

Avoid cooking, corn, and other organic oils since they can catch 
germs and go rancid to the max!!

Many motor and machine oils have gobs of added chemicals in them 
making there electrical properties "odd"...

Transformer oil can be had in five gallon buckets for about $50:

Any Shell oil dealer can get it for you.

There is usually a seller on ebay selling it buy the gallon but I 
don't see him now...

"Mineral oil" is sold at every drug store but at a relatively high 
price.  They sell it at farm and ranch stores too for a far lesser 
price to help "clean out" cows...

Cheers,

        Terry
