[Milsurplus] Bird Termaline oil

[Andrew]

Mark, you can use plain mineral oil.  I have a lot of transformer oil here
on hand if you'd rather have "official" oil.  But it'd probably just be as
cheap to go to your local farmer supply store and buy it.  (They sell by
the gallon for horses)

Thanks,
Andrew
