Also you cannot reduce your tempreture below normal room tempreture (20c). So 19 would be pretty low, unless you live in a cold assed house (like 15c).
That's what I would be worried about, I don't see the pump lasting long.The thicker the liquid, the more heat conductive it should be. But also the quicker you'd kill your pump, which probably isn't designed for this type of liquid.
what was you room temp during the water and during the oil
what else did you change?
what CPU are you using, what speed and voltage are you running?
Looking at your sig makes me want whatever cooling you are running, what is it and how do you avoid condensation?
To the OP, won't the oil make your pump work much harder due to the higher viscosity? Hopefully you have a quality unit.

this statement is not true by any means

true dat yo!!
Generally speaking the thicker the fluid the higher heat capacity not conductivity.
example: mineral oil has a higher boiling point ( 360C...ish )when compared to water's boiling point of 100C
Mineral oil (least the one I'm using, medicinal mineral oil) has 0.9 the density of water, lower heat capacity, lower heat conductivity.
nightbird thank god you are here to disprove basic water cooling truths... if it where not for you we would all mindlessly just run water in our water cooling rigs

This has got to be a troll post. No offense.
this thread should be deleted before some idiot reads this and actually tries it. the few factual posts in here are drowining in a myriad of garbage.
I agree 100%, who would run anything but KY personal lubricant in their loop?
