+1 for M1. I use KOOL MIST water based coolant. After jobs I wipe dry all surfaces, then a light mist and wipe with M1. No rust in years.Starrett M1. Not cheap but works great, doesn't stain, and easy to remove.
I found that a "Fluid Film" work well. It is lanolin based.
Looking for recommendations for light oil to protect machine surfaces

If you like to smell like ground up rotting sheep, otherwise I would say it is a big no for actively used machines. It has some great features for machines in storage. Especially on cold machines, in cold application conditions. It does stay wet and goopy, so it is fairly "self healing" on a machine, meaning a scratch or void in coverage (like from a cover) will tend to fill in over time. It also does not require much in the way of surface prep. It is cheap by the gallon and I slather it in with a big paint brush. I see people often suggest it is non-toxic or natural in some way but even applied with a paint brush in the cold, it chokes up my lungs and throat pretty good, so I think those claims are BS.
