Cutting Fluid for Stainless Steel

I need to mill a slot in some 1/8" 316 stainless steel and was wondering
what
I should be using for a cutting fluid. I'm planning on using a 3/8"
cobalt
coated roughing end mill.

Harveys #5 works great and its only $9.00 a gallon, it's a petrolium based
high sulphur
cutting fluid. Slowest possible rpm with constant pressure will get the job
done.
Best Regards
Tom.
