The 'Zoom Spout' Turbine Oil (Supco, other
mfrs.) is brilliant for
lubricating any fine mechanisms. It's also quite inexpensive, and the
extensible spout is worth the price of the bottle alone. The oil contained
is crystal-clear and somewhere in the 5-10W range, non-detergent and will
not gum up.
Here's another little jewel, that no mechanical geek worth their salt
should be without - the General Tools 589 Precision Oiler. This is a
high-quality, leak-proof refillable oiler, that allows very precise
dispensing of even the smallest droplets.
As an example, eBay item #131703297238

Those are neat. I'll look for a similar one here locally.
There is still a sewing machine shop/repair shop nearby, I 'll go there
to add an extra bottle of oil to my supplies.

What Dwight said.
Kerosene or paint thinner makes a good cleaning solvent. SAE 5 "white"
oil is a good lightweight lubricant; often used to lube sewing machines.
