Oil For Nottingham Spacedeck?

Is it safe and effective to use any other oil (and preferably less expensive) besides the oil from Nottingham in the bearing well of the table that the platter settles into? I just purchased a used Spacedeck and am going through it to make sure all is as it should be.

Thanks
