If you are looking for a cruelty-free, eco-friendly substitute for a petroleum-based lubricant for bicycle chains, sewing machines, and such, try jojoba!

Pure jojoba, a liquid wax that never goes rancid, is an excellent natural engine lubricant. This natural lubricant is so good it is even being tested on airplane engines! Jojoba is available in health food stores.
