I bet you will have worse problems down the road.  There are piano-specific
lubricants available from the supply houses.  Or you can make your own from
naptha and silicone.  Or use an alcohol and water mixture to properly size
the bushings.  Indiscriminate use of oils without knowledge of their effects
has already made its course in piano service. (E.g., WD-40.)  You don't want
to cause damage that will require expensive repair.
