Try to find the Nye Hobbyist Lubricant Kit, the lightest oil in it has the same specs the HP (Nye) oil has. You get an extra thicker oil + a synthetic grease in that kit and the price is similar. But not in the U.K. I see.

Amazon.UK shows the item but can not deliver.

This is from the German Micro Tools shop;

that is where I ordered my Nye kit maybe 8 years ago, it looks like they assembled a similar set but I'm not sure it is the NHLK set.

The oil to use of that kit is the Nye Synthetic Oil 269

Hello Mark & Ernst,  Thank you for your help.  I was able to find and buy it from "newgate simms" in the UK.  I dealt with Nicola Robinson via email and she was quite helpful.  It cost £32.82 including shipping & VAT (sales tax).  This is an item that was backordered so I will be receiving it in about 3 weeks. 
The link to there online store is:  https://shop.newgatesimms.com/product/synthetic-oil-269.  Phone: +44(0) 1244 660771.  BTW, the amount of oil is 60ml.
