I would use Kerosene with 2% vegetable oil for lubrication without any fear. I have seen, and posted, the universtiy studies. K1 is considered the worst case for lubrication. Just 2% canola oil was enough to make it pass the lubricity standards.

Vegetable oil and Motor oil will also work, especially if thinned out with ATF or Kerosene.
