Transformer Oil - Dodge Diesel - Diesel Truck Resource Forums





I wouldn't go near that crap, even if it was the last thing that could be combusted on the face of the earth!!!

 

Holy ! That guy is an Idiot! there is a lot of bad stuff in that oil!
I predict cancer in his future.

 

come on guys don't make me move this to the other side......


hmmmmmm i've seen transformers made on TV before..... i'd be interested in what all is really in there....... maybe someone can ask him to come over and share his findings with us when he gets his sample back.......

 

all I want to know is who in their right mind would sit down and remove all of the oil from thousands of toy transformers. Why are they putting oil in a toy that a young kid can play with anyway. that just ,makes me mad.

 

That would take SUCH a long time

 

especially to get 1500 gallons of it.... that would be like what a few million transformers?

 

IIRC The power going through them creates a lot of heat and the oil in them helps dissipate the heat.

 

Though they put oil in there to help conduct electricity!!

 

a guy at work burns WMO in his 2000 Dodge Cummins......he says transformer oil is the best ever to get hold off, as long as its not the old kind with PCB's in it

 

We got transformers stretched out for 100 sq/mi. Too bad their up on poles with 10,000 volt 3 phase running through them!!!!
