What is "Black Oil?"

Somewhere in my parts collection I have a small plastic bottle of black oil. I believe it came from a Linn dealer years ago when I was restoring an AR table.

I've never owned a Linn table but always wondered about the black oil. Does it contain liquid graphite to somehow assist the bearing lubrication? It appears about the same as the liquid graphite as sold to lubricate door locks and handles.
