What's a good bearing oil for a phosphor bronze (I think)
bearing in a small computer fan? Would a tiny bit of car
engine oil do?

Bronze bearings are usually intended to be self-lubricating. Oiling them
runs the risk of oil + dust creating an abrasive mix that will quickly wear
the bearing away. Powdered graphite is the best lubricant. However, if you
must oil it, use sewing machine oil.
