What's a good oil lubricant for alps switches?

I've seen the teflon lubricants and stuff but they don't seem too effective in preserving the switch against rust.

Can I use cooking oil? Or is there a non-corrosive alternative that will not corrode the plastics?

I stand in the store and read the labels on the cans very carefully.

I assume that anything that is not clearly specified (eg "safe for plastic" or "rust preventive") is probably not in there.

Well on the other hand cooking oil is stored in a plastic container

What kind of cooking oil? I'm thinking it would eventually go rancid. Why not use Dupont dry lube?
