| I want some spray oil to use as a very light oil.

| Also as a solvent for the glue on adhesive labels.

You've misquoted.
Only two things are certain: death and taxes.
Only two things are infinite: The universe and human stupidity; and I'm not
certain about the universe. ~ Albert Einstein


As far as the universe and human stupidity goes I'm quite certain
Albert Einstein falls into the latter category.
