A year or so ago, I started using Marvel Mystery Oil on my oil stones.  My
only criteria were, 1)  It is a thin viscosity oil (mostly transmission
fluid) and 2) it smells nice (kind of minty).  It costs a little more, but
it is used in such small quantities it really doesn't matter.  Finally, it
works, it keeps my stones clean and they smell good.  What more could you
ask for.
