Personally, I use a only few drops of Tri-Flow in my WI freewheels and they seems to work fine. Any other non-sealed/serviceable freewheels get drowned in Tri-Flow but a heavier oil might be better.

Freewheels are interesting to me in that when they are moving, there's no load, and static when under load.
