It's a light oil but may contain solvents.  I was suggesting that there
are light synthetic oils similar to it.  There are synthetic products now
that flow like light oils, but then the volatiles evaporate and leave behind
a thin film of synthetic grease and Teflon.  You may be right -- the
solvents ight not be good for some plastics.
I've used synthetic 30 wt and 90 wt for lots of things.  You can make
a little cone of paper and dribble some down into shifter cables.
