Anyone try synthetic motor oil?

I'm going through a neglected XX-4 and I have 22 bearing assemblies to clean and lube.
Some people do use Mobil One motor oil. It's actually what Avid recommends if you don't buy their house brand of lube. In a similar manner, I personally have had very good results with spraying this stuff into a needle bottle and using it as RC bearing lube.
