I won't advise anyone to make use of a synthetic motor oil for cleaning the turntables because this oil contains detergents and some multi-grade properties that have the ability to attract moisture over a period and it can affect some delicate parts of the turntable.

I have been making use of liquid bearing 100% synthetic oil for a long time and it has done the work perfectly fine. Other alternatives are Project Lube it or sewing machine oil.

If you can find them in local shops around you, I would suggest checking out https://LPGear.com or TurntableLab.com for the oil that you need. https://LPGear.com was where I got the last one that I am still using to date.
