I got a Heathkit Cantenna recently, sans oil.

Where do I find transformer oil? The few industrial suppliers in my
area (Monterey, CA) want to sell me drums of the stuff. I only need
a gallon...

Is motor oil OK to use?

I used drug store mineral oil in my Cantenna. Worked fine for 100
watts, but kind of expensive, buying it by the pint :-)

MFJ sells a gallon of transformer oil, by itself (they also sell their
version of the Cantenna). Check their website.
