When they say “lighter fluid.”  
They mean charcoal/briquet lighter fluid,  
the oil used for barbeque’ing right?

I use the lighter fluid in the yellow bottle. Works for zippo’s.

It’s like 2 or 3 bucks for a bottle at my local 7/11

Yellow bottle, you mean Ronsonol? As said most stores should stock that including 7/11

I don’t know if it would clean a bearing, but it isn’t lighter fluid.

Use Ronsonol or Zippo lighter fluid.
