I've used Hyd oil for quenching. It generally has a 
lower flash point than motor oil and smells a LOT 
better than the motor oil, ATF mix. I'm not saying it's 
any healthier though so stay out of the smoke 
regardless.

Heat transfer oil has a lower flash point still but I 
don't believe it quenches any better. I missed a chance 
to salvage some heat transfer oil when they changed it 
out on the crack seal pot at work. I put in a request 
to give me a call the next time and if they remember I 
may have more info to pass along.
