From my perusing of the various TT forum discussions on this topic,
there appear to be two types of "3 in 1" available, one with WD40 type
additives and one that's just a simple lubricating oil. However, since
Huge neglected to specify which flavour of "3 in 1" he'd used, his
implied suggestion isn't entirely helpful to the OP's quest.

All I can suggest to the OP is that if he decides to go with Huge's
suggestion, he chooses which type of "3 in 1" with more care than Huge
took in offering his 'pearl of wisdom' (assuming he hasn't already been
put off by Huge's other postings in this thread).

Odd to call something 3 in 1 if it only does one job. ;-)

At one time the best easy source of a light high quality oil was sewing
machine oil. But they likely are made of plastic these days...

What I always used for my model railway engines :-)

I found a little bottle of it just a few years ago for my clarinet(s).
