^ What a treadmilll uses could depend on the manufacturer and where it is used. If it is in a gear housing then it's probably 85W petroleum gear oil. That would work, but won't as readily soak into the porous bearing.
Silicone oil is rarely used for lubrication except where petroleum oil would break down components or in an extremely high temperature environment where it better retains its viscosity.
