You want the proper weight mineral oil. I am sure someone could point you in the direction of what you want from the pharmacy. This is what I personally use. http://cgi.ebay.com/RAIN-LAMP-FLUID-MINERAL-OIL-DRAKEOL-35-/1304256...

Yeah, just buy mineral oil (sold as a laxative, eek!) from the pharmacy/chemist. There was, in the US,. "rain lamp fluid" made by Bortz, which is just rebranded mineral oil. I'm not sure whether weight matters, but the standard grade generic mineral oil always works well for me, and this coming from someone who used to collect and restore these.
