We need less than a gallon of transformer oil for coolant.
Does anyone sell such small quantities?

We don't want cooking oil.

If transformer oil is toxic, the MSDS would say so.

not wanting it doesn't mean you shouldn't use it

Not cooking oil; vegetable or animal derived oils will go rancid over

MFJ sells 1 gallon bottles for $30.

Thank you. This is the coolant for the motor controller
we built; for an electric Miata we've named QAR. The heat
sinks have copper tubing embedded in them. We need thermal
conductivity and electrical isolation since the heat sinks are
200V apart, and are not referenced to the frame.
We tried mineral oil but the viscosity is way too high.
Fluorinert would be ideal but would likely cost more than all we
have spent to date. We're looking at DOT5 brake fluid as well.

I'm old enough that products introduced in 1979 still count as "new
stuff."

In article <XnsA10951688F...@216.250.188.140>,
Light, food-grade mineral oil is sold as a laxative for horses and
cattle.
One online source I just checked, lists it at $22 for a two-gallon tub.
If you've got a feed store near you, it might be a significantly less
expensive source for this sort of oil - cheaper than MFJ per gallon
and you could save the (considerable) shipping cost.

Another option is to check your local animal-feed store.

Look up Refrigeration oils viscosity varies largely 100 to 700
and if you really want good oil lookup Diffusion pump oils
diffusion oil is high temp. and high vacuum oil.
