Oops sorry, did not see this till today. It is called "turbine oil" but I guess a spindle is considered a higher-rpm application. I just used some to reactivate an electric clock motor in a
https://www.collectorsweekly.com/sto...-model-851-clo Tymeter, and its been keeping time since.
I recall using 3 in 1 and other general household oils on small fan motors, shaded pole motors like record players - etc only to find the motor "stuck" again if not used regularly. Those multi-purpose oils seem to be intended to fill bearing caps on larger motors or stop binds or squeaks.
Record players need either Phonolube on the platter bearing/shaft and Phonolube is GC's version of white lithium based AKA "lubriplate". But if its a motor or pulley shaft, just a tiny drop of turbine oil will do.
