Transformer oil, in Canada and the US anyway, has not contained PCB's since 
the mid 1970's when it's use was prohibited so any tranformer oil you ar 
elikely to get today (unless your raiding an old junkyard) will be PCB 
free. Other countries might be a different story.

I have transformer oil in my cantenna simply because it was readily 
avialable (a number og local hams have worked for the power company).

If you get some extra it makes a great penetrating oil for removing 
stubborn nuts and bolts *grin*.
