The only light oil I know is the 3 in one stuff, but I don't know how
it holds up over a year or so. Does it tend to gum up or does it stay
thin?




Try a gun shop, or a sewing-machine repair place.

My parents used to call 3 in 1 sewing machine oil. I searched
Amazon for sewing machine oil out of curiosity. 3 in 1 was in the
results. http://tinyurl.com/agfhq3k
My parents used to have the stuff called "sewing machine oil". In my
opinion, it's the same thing as 3 in 1 oil, minus the odor.
Oil is oil, it just the thickness that matters.... both of these are a
very thin oil.

Why is it called "3 in 1" anyhow? Does anyone know?

Because that's the company's name?

Maybe now, since it was bought out by the WD40 company.
I have in my hand an old 3 oz. can of 3-IN-ONE Household Oil with about
an ounce and half left and the company name is Boyle-Midway Inc. New
York, NY. 10017.
