Motor oil would probably work very well. I bought an aerosol can of Cable Life with a cable luber a few years ago so that's what I've been using. I do use a moly chain lube on the cable end barrel though.

Motor oil attracts dust and stuff and creates gunk. You can do it, but cleaning is more of an issue. Dri-slide or specific cable lube products are much mo betta
