Should be OK. Any light oil should work. NO WD-40.

The drawback with using oil is that although it does the job, it also hangs around and collects dirt. Something like Tri-flow has a volatile base and just leaves a dry deposit of PTFE.

Thanks for that page Greg... I've sent a good number of friends there to learn the what and where of lubricating a steel! Your site is a great resource.
