I have heard that concrete form oil is a very close match to fog oil and is used in a lot of aircraft smoke generators, used at air shows.

"Oil fog = standard gas fuel-2 (ie, fog oil [SGF2]),
SGF2 is one type of chemical smoke obscurant used in the military. SGF2 is
generated by injecting a light petroleum-based lubricating oil onto a heated
engine exhaust manifold, causing the oil to vaporize and eventually
recondense in the atmosphere. Petroleum oil smokes are the least toxic
smokes. They seldom produce ill effects even after prolonged or multiple
exposures."
Sounds like any light weight oil will do. Wayne
