Motor oil never dries out or gets sticky. Lionel Lube is one of the worst. It turns into concrete in a few years. Don't use 3 in 1 oil, light machine oil, sewing machine oil, lithium grease, most greases, etc. I have used motor oil for almost 60 years with good results."I've found that Dexron/Mercon transmission fluid is good gear and bearing lubrication. I've been using it for many years.
