I use "Finish Line", because it's what I use on my bike and it's handy.
Break Free or Tri-Flow are useful too. If you don't have some, get a
small bottle because this stuff is always handy.

Sewing machine oil would work fine.

Would a tiny bit of car
engine oil do?

Much too viscous

Actually, it's not, it would be OK


WD40 will work, if you're really stuck and it's what you have,

I would advise against that, it would just wash out any oil left in the
bearing
