Aren't you one of the guys who always jumps into the steel/cabron fiber threads with a comment about how carbon really is better ?
My own feeling is that something like ATF mixed or another oil like Chain-L is both more easily used and works better in my circumstances as a lubricant for reducing noise/wear.
