It won't be a solution. At best it would be an emulsion, but, the real
reason for my post...

As a lubricant for clockworks (non-digital), put some on a feather to
oil the spring-driven mechanisms and gears.

Clarify where you're putting that oil. Do NOT apply it to the teeth of
the gears. At most apply it to the bearings of the gears. Putting it
on the teeth assures a gathering of dust and subsequent grinding, er,
uh, of teeth.
