I think mineral oil would be just fine thermally and chemically - the
problem would be in keeping it where it belongs, leak-free. Some
things may need modification or adjustment, since the higher
dielectric constant would cause all inter-node capacitances to
increase, compared to air. The trim cap(s) for the oscillator would
especially be affected, presuming the oil can get inside every "open"
component. Also, any bubbles or voids in the oil fill that can move
may cause slight effects related to orientation.
