Default Which oil to lube paper shredder?

What substitute oil can I use to save me the cost of buying an additional
special oil for my Fellowes cross-cut shredder used in my home office?

Shredder manufacturers say to avoid WD40.


WD40 will appear to work well for a minute or two, until the cutters get hot
and cause a fireball. I speak from stupid experience, and my eyebrows,
mustache, and hair add their support.

Buy the sheets from an office supply place. They're cheap and neat.
