Yes, I wouldn't use it for anything worth more than a PC case fan, and
even then it gums up fairly quickly. It's still better than WD40 though!

Off topic slightly, I've had great results restoring PC fans by
lubricating them with MolySlip, a car oil treatment compound. They seem to
go on for years!

One good choice if no better information is available is oil for self
lubricating bearings. It is clean, thin, and doesn't gum up.
