Johnson's Baby Oil will work if you don't mind the smell. It is pure
mineral oil with a fragrance added. You may be able to find pure mineral
oil at the local drug store that does not have a fragrance added.

Otherwise, I have used MFJ transformer oil. See
http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?productid=MFJ-21 for info.
