 Welcome to the frontier, where plebs are producing their own food, using Bitcoin miners to do it all while disrespecting seed oils.

 Did you consider mineral oil? 
 Yeah but it was much more expensive than canola oil locally and much more viscous. I needed something I could get immediately close by. I also read that mineral oil is corrosive. Mineral oil might last longer than canola oil but I didn't need to use it for very long. 
 I was reading up on it last night and found this https://www.researchgate.net/publication/305525405_Effects_of_mineral_oil_immersion_cooling_on_IT_equipment_reliability_and_reliability_enhancements_to_data_center_operations

Hard to get a clear consensus from forums, some said mineral oil good, some bad, miners advised against in favor of $100/gal stuff 
 The expensive dielectric is definitely superior to any other option.
