I know you're a knowledgeable lot here, so:
I have a small electrical pond pump which is oil filled. During its dis-assembly I lost some oil. Can I top this up with conventional car engine oil? Or might the engine oil not be a good electrical insulator ...?
TIA
Why not ask in uk-d-i-y where you're more likely to get a helpful answer?

You really need transformer oil.
why not use mineral oil, aka baby oil

Someone posted once that baby oil is palm oil (I've never got around to checking), also it is scented. But Liquid Paraffin BP from the Chemists is relatively pure mineral oil.
its nothing like palm oil, buy the 2 and you'll immediately see

Baby oil is white mineral oil (Liquid paraffin) and scent.
Baby oil without the scent.
