motor oil on the saddle........

I just read Sheldon browns write up on leather (as I just purchaced my first Brooks b17)
The salesman pitched me a tin of proofide, and I oblidged.

But mr. Brown seems too think this is only for the faint of heat and that in order to achieve maximum results, more durastic measures and materials are needed.
(sounds like a challenge to me)

he lists a bunch of products that seem to be pretty hard to find here in japan.........except for motor oil.

So..........I'm thinking of trying it........tomorrow when I get home.

Objections or advice before I subject my new honey brown to a baptism of 30wt black gold?
