Default anyone know of an alternative to expensive electric motor bushing oil

Does anyone know of a less expensive alternative to buying hobby grade electric motor oil.

I know for ARO in nitro engines, Marvel Mystery Oil works really well and is much cheaper.

And for nitro air filter oil, you can get the motocross foam filter oil at a bike shop much cheaper.

Now I am wondering if a similar alternative exists for electric motor oil.

Thanks.

I have been using a synthetic, light weight hobby model train oil. Works great, about $4 for a 1.5oz. bottle.
