The gallon I bought was about $12 USD about 20 years ago. Lately I havent seen anything larger than a quart.My wife has a 12 oz bottle she picked up at the dollar store for $.97, that may be a good way to go. I know a guy that used "Marvel Mystery Oil" which is mostly mineral oil. He says the can will rust out will regular mineral oil but not with the MMO. Jimmie |

I was just happy to see someone in that thread pop up with the warning about PCBs in old transformer oil. I couldn't believe someone said they actually got power company transformer oil! |

Transformer oil. Try your local power company. typically they will either sell it to you, or, sometimes when they find out that you only need a gallon or so, they'll just give it to you. Mine did. - 'Doc |
