I've been told that turbine oil (the oil used for jet engines) works
well. It lacks most of the additives used in oil for reciprocating engines
which will degrade the resistor(s). I've also heard that mineral oil from
the drugstore will work, but not as well. I went to the local depot of the
electric company and asked if they'd sell me some transformer oil. When
they heard I only needed a gallon, they gave it to me.
