What oil in sump pump electric motor?

[Tim Fastle]

I have a Flotec 1/6 HP submersible sump pump that I used for various needs. I had to pull it apart and lost the oil that was in the motor. I have done the repair but am not sure what oil I should put back in it and how full to fill it? I it was light weight oil and I assume it's a dielectric oil. Is there a common dielectric oil I could use or do I need to get oil specific for this electric motor? If there is a general one I could use what might it be and roughly how full to fill it?

Thanks!
