Air tool oil is going into a hot/warm use environment inside that tool with compressed air. How will it work to lubricate parts of a car that get very very cold during part of the year?

I mentioned sewing machine grease earlier, which is different. Sewing machine oil, a very light pure oil used for instruments and of course sewing machines. But tool oil is much cheaper and you can get it anywhere. Hmmmm. Anyone know for sure?
