I'd add sufficiently high boiling point to the list of desired
attributes listed below. Good thermal properties would be good as well.
What properties? Specific heat for one. A high boiling point is part of
the story but the heat energy (calories or BTU) required to raise a
quantity of the fluid to the boiling point is important too.
I think the brake fluid will probably handle the job.

About 15 years ago, I put silicone DOT-5 brake fluid in my Cantenna.
I thought that the 500 degree F boiling point would be a safety
feature. I have no idea what the electrical properties are.
I just pulled the lid off of it and the oil still looks good, but I
don't use it much.
Does anybody have an opinion about using brake fluid ?
Anything that is non-corrosive, non-conductive, and reasonable
viscosity would probably work.
