At first I thought you were talking about the Canadian company called Liquid Bearing, but then did an internet search and found there's also a specific product by that name. 

I've never heard of it before, but according to the company's website it's a suitable product for typewriters. However, I'm sceptical. They also claim the product is great for watch movements, which is difficult to believe. I've seen the lubricants that my watchmaker uses and they are extremely specific to the trade.

Personally, I would try it on one typewriter that needs oiling and see how it works. You really don't have much to lose. I only use sewingmachine oil - and sparingly at that - but it would be good to know if there are other, readily available products out there.

Yes--tranny fluid. Used it for years. Hasn't stuck yet.

Power steering fluid.  

Well, I have not tried it extensively yet. I bought it because it was advertised as "100% synthetic" which seems to be a good thing for lubricants, but that copy had oversold this feature, not claimed on the can and simply false: it's am impressive chemical cocktail but around half the mixers are petroleum fractions. Right after the concentrated lime juice. Yummy.

I was serious up to the sentence ending in "fractions". It must be good stuff if its exported from Germany, though. Just how many consumer chemical blends do the Germans export! When only German made lubricants will do we are talking high end lubricant market. Don't you wish you had some 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl dodecylester, polymer with methyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate and tetradecyl 2-ethyl 2-propenoate? That's the fourth ingredient and I think organic chemists are just showing off.
