What is the difference between lubricating oil and insulating
Oil?

Answer Posted / santosh mahato

lubricating oil is used in order to reduce friction from
moving parts, to make somthing run smoothly without any
problem.
But,insulating oil is used to insulate parts at different
electrical potential i.e., to protect or isolate some
meterials from the passage of electricity.

Regarding the viscosity of the insulating fluids it is
highly desirable that they have a low viscosity (as long
they keep inflamability at a reasonable level) as this
helps the removal of heat out of the transformer.
Hope this is of help.
