You'll probably be OK with that stuff, but the best I've ever used (and what I've continued to use) for tapping stainless is Moly-Dee from Castrol. It stinks like cow crap and will stain some materials (especially clothing) but works really well for tapping stainless.

I do a lot of machining on various types of stainless, so for me it's worthwhile to keep some Moly-Dee around for that.
