Patrick,
Not familiar with this particular brand. However, virtually all
utility-grade transformer oils used today are mineral oils that have
been specially processed. It'll have a dielectric constant of about 2.2.
As long as it's new oil and not old, oxidized, or water-ladenf it should
be perfect for your use. It should be clear and typically lightly
straw-colored. Nice catch!
