The older transformer oil contained PCBs. If you use that type
of oil, you do not want to get it on you when you work with it as
exposure to PCBs can possibly lead to cancer. The newer transformer
oil might not contain PCBs, but I don't know how to tell the
difference between new and old. Mineral oil, if it will dissipate
the heat, definitely sounds better.
