I can remember as a kid I thought it'd be cool to oil the freewheel on my ten spd bike. Went out to the garage and grabbed the oil can and had at it. Dad happened by and asked what I was doing. He'd noticed I had grabbed the cutting oil can, not the old OIL can.
That's when I learned there are a lot of TINY ball bearing inside one of those freewheels and it's a PIA to get them to stay in place AND get the spring loaded (I don't know the correct word for them) pieces in too when putting it all back together.
Finally got it all cleaned up and back together and boy was it quiet too.
So yes, there is a difference between cutting oil and lube oil. Choose wisely and the job will go much smoother.
