"Cantenna" With Motor Oil?

[Schichler, Alfred]

I have a small quart size homebrew "Cantenna", and I use motor oil in it. I
only run 100 watts into it, but it works fine.

For some bizzare reason, mineral oil is very hard to come by in my county.
Some ham says he actually uses motor oil for his homebrew "Cantenna"...:

...and I was wondering if anyone had ever tried this with the Heathkit
Cantenna.

Thanks,
