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"
