Where are VE's buying their mineral oil for their dummy loads?



I have visited several of the more popular local stores here lately and
other than a tiny 250ml or slightly larger bottle, can't seem to find
mineral oil in any kid of jug or big bottle.

I need to fill a "paint can type" of DL..



Where did you buy yours in Canada?




I've not bought it in Canada, but a feed store is a good source - it's used by the gallon as a animal laxative.

The other place to buy "real transformer oil" is what's called (here in the US) a "oil jobber". They're basically small scale distributors of specialty products (mostly lubricants, but also other "things made from oil") - Shell Diala is one brand, Exxon Univolt is another, there's also a Castrol one, but I can't remember the name.

As an example:

http://www.shell.ca/can/en_ca/business-customers/lubricants-for-business/lubricants-product-range/shell-diala-electrical-oils.html there's a link on there for "find a distributor"
