What grade of oil do people use for lubricating the motion work and bearing surfaces?

Preferrably the sort you can get from Halfords to save the expense of going to a specialist oil holder.

I use steam oil everywhere, use to use 3-in-1 but was told steam oil's best.

I tend to use the stuff thats recomended for Mamods on motion. But you can use steam oil on the whole lot.

I just use 3 in 1, works just as well on the motion as steam oil and is cheaper as well
