Very interesting. I would think that power steering/brake fluid would be a good choice. And I would think that a good quality, like the stuff used in race cars would be best. It has a better bioling piont and low mosture absortion content. I would go for the ATE Super Blue or the like.
ATE Super Blue Racing High Performance Brake Fluid is designed to excel within the extreme demands made on a race vehicle and exceeds all DOT4 standards. It is compatible with and will mix well with most DOT3, DOT4, or DOT 5.1 fluids.
The formula offers a minimal drop in boiling point resulting in a long-lasting fluid that may not need to be changed for up to 3 years under normal highway driving conditions. Products with a lower wet boiling point have to be replaced considerably more often (e.g., DOT3 products should be replaced annually). The overall high dry and wet boiling points make this fluid an excellent choice for street driven vehicles, too, where brake fluid is flushed less frequently than that in race-driven vehicles.

if you want LIGHT oil.... look for kendal Glacier blue hydraulic oil.... its below 0 weight, and if you mix it with a bit of ATF it will keep the corosion and binding to a minimum for A LONG time..
