Singer sewing machine oil. I actually have a vintage can of Singer sewing machine oil on my bench. I mostly use it for my pocket knives but it has found it's way into several revolvers.

I used to work with a custom rifle maker making bottom metal. I was running the CnC one day and he was on the bench assembling a rifle. He said, “hey, come here for a second and smell this,” whereby he held out a q-tip. I smelled it and it smelled like nothing else I had ever smelled before. He looked at me and said, “sperm oil.” And went back to his work. Turns out Brownells used to sell the stuff and he used it on all his trigger assemblies. Interesting stuff.

Brownells did sell it (gallon tin from memory)...and if I could find a tin of it I would use it too, first because it works, and second just to stick it to the bastards that insist I shouldn't.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
