[TowerTalk] Oil for Dummy Load

[Don]

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 ?

Just a thought...I seem to recall that there was some infoon a list about Cantenna oil that was posted long ago....there were some recommendations for a type of automotivetransmission oil as a good substitute for theoriginal transformer oil. Google for more complete info..
