ahaha. i remember a few years back when someone did this with MINERAL OIL. i wonder how it's thermal properties compare to cooking oil.
edit: interesting
The aggressiveness of individual types of oil (above all those with a high fatty acid content) when it comes to plastics should not be taken lightly. For simplicity's sake, we decided on vegetable oil - but we recommend motor oil.

I'd suggest using proper, inert, flourocarbon-based liquid.

Beats me -- took the photo at the PDX LAN last year. The dude had dragged it to PDXL so it can't be too bad
