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 ?

[TowerTalk] Oil for Dummy Load
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..
