Watch how much power you put to them. After a while the oil cannot disipate the heat as fast as it absorbs it (with almost all oil cooled antennas). When it gets too hot it will crack the plastic holding the oil and it will run all over your vehicle. I have a barjan center loaded air coil antenna and it works great. I think the oil is mostly just a novelty. Unless you really want the oil, stick with an air dielectric.

These are ok low buck antennas. Good for about 500w peak.
