Am not knowledgeable on transformer oil.
Is it inflammable?
If it is; then probably any kind of oil would work although may not=20
conduct heat quite as well.
It it is not; then better stick with transformer oil.

Am familiar with refrigerants.
Propane works great as refrigerant, doesn't deplete the ozone layer, is =

cheap but inflammable.
So we pay big bucks for the stuff we use in the frig and don't have=20
potential bombs in the kitchen.

P.S. Please capitalize Heath references in the future, thank you.
