Labelle #108 oil (available in most hobby shops) is probably the best oil for these tiny engines. The Labelle bottle and needle applicator are very convenient, as well as resealable; the oil is thin and doesn't harden. Marklin and Seuthe both make locomotive oil as well, but their applicators are much less convenient, and the high viscosity of their products is more suitable for HO scale engines. Most other types of oils are probably not suitable.
