So again, I’m at my grandparents house and like a noob, I forgot to bring materials, besides string.

In going shopping and was wondering I can buy any thin lube for yoyos at any store like target Walmart Home Depot, etc.  
Please give the names of the product, or kind of live that will work well with the bearing
