Oil + Water + Shaking about = good approximation to cream cheese!
The reason transformers use it for cooling is that it is a good electrical insulator, so can be used in places where water would be dangerous. You could use it as your only cooling fluid, but it's probably only worth it if:
1) Parts of your system have to be electrically live, or
2) You have extremely fierce galvanic corrosion problems.
