I have not followed this about oil and I suppose you are oiling metal bearings. 3 in 1 or any light oil should do. But if you are oiling a wooden bearing you should never us oil made from petrochemicals because it breaks down the cell walls. For this you should use 50/50 castor oil and pure natural turps. If it gets a bit sticky wash out with turps. Michael
