way to much overkill. way to expensive, and would be to lound.. vegie oil is really not to thick, I think that a regular h20 cooling pump would last a year or so, and they are not to expensive.

those are operated by the rotation of the cam shaft or crank shaft in 99% of engines, so there is no electric motor to run them, they also operate at pressures of 30-80PSI so they would flow way to much if you could find an electric one.

hmm, I never looked into that. I knwo that you can use engine oil, but it smells a little funny to be in the house.. depending on price, if it will be the same price or cheaper or a LITTLE bit more expansive, I will buy some and dunk an ohm meter in there. I will let you know.

what? engine oil smells great! this also makes me wonder if there would be an advantage of synthetic or natural blend?

only problem is 6 gallons of mineral oil = $60.. ekkkkk

compared to $6.15 a gallon of vegie oil = $36.99

do not use vegitable oil, it degrade over time, you need to use di-electric fluid or some sort of mineral oil as a long term solution.
There are dozens of threads on this topic, have a search
