Hello, i got some KNC Jupiter cards which i need cooling for. all my CPU fans we're to big to fit the cards so i thought i'd cool them down with some Mineral Oil and use Heatsinks. instead of CPU coolers.

does anyone know a good Oil i could get fast tomorrow ?

i live in sweden if that help, maybe someone knows a supermarket or something that sells it ?

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

are you aware that mineral oil is used as medium of heat exchanging right? You still need a radiator to dump heat.

Mineral oil is thick, you will need a seriously powerful 'water' pump. An aquarium pump or  PC watercooling pump or something isnt going to  do it. Also make sure it can stand the relatively high temps.
While you wont need fans (even if it doesnt hurt), you will need heatsinks on the chips, even if you submerge them. Mineral oil has a far too high boiling point (200-600C). Without heatsinks the chips will overheat in seconds.

That said, a cheap source of mineral oil is horse laxative. Im not joking.

Don't use oil, your miners will die eventually.

It leaks into capacitors and the like causing them to fail. It is also very messy and difficult to maintain. The oil will need replaced time to time as it does break down after a while.
