Oils have different "weights" so they flow correctly into the crevices they are meant to go into. I only use sewing machine oil (mine happens to be Singer oil) because all my older machines that call for oil are Singer. Newer electronic machines are not to be oiled. That hair clipper oil is much thinner than sewing machine oil, and would probably run right through your machine onto your fabric.
