Again, I use mineral oil every day.  How can it be toxic when I put it
on my skin?  I might add, my Doctor knows I put it on and he has never
mentioned it being toxic.  Also, baby oil is mineral oil plus
fragrances, which is what I use daily.  I can send you a picture of one
of my baby oil bottles if you want to see it for yourself.  Maybe seeing
is believing? 

If you watch the video I linked to, you will see they put in mineral
oil.  They didn't say they put in a alternative to mineral oil.  They
even pull a vacuum on the transformer can to make sure it doesn't leave
any moisture or air bubbles in it.  I watch that show on TV often and I
feel quite certain they would not show that if it were not true and
accurate. 

I'm sorry but I'm going with the info I know to be more accurate. 
Watching that video says a lot.  I'm sure there are other things that
can be used but the point is, mineral oil is in common use and has been
for a long time.  It also doesn't cause shortages when it leaks either
which water does.  That's why I'm not putting water near my computer,
cooling or otherwise.
