Not a good idea.

Sorry, Ron, but could you 'splain further?
The Schacht wheel folks recommend: "Use medium weight oil such as 20 or 30
weight motor oil."
(http://www.schachtspindle.com/instructions/spinning/swmaintenancemanual.htm)
Lucky for me, my main wheels are all sealed bearings (no oiling needed, I'm so
spoiled). The one wheel that does need oil, I use a Teflon lubricant from Radio
Shack (http://tinyurl.com/4bxjmo). I wipe it off after a couple hours of spin
time (it still gets black and gunky) and reapply. Seems to be just fine.
