SG-250 - Oil Better Suited Than Water?

Thy Will Be Done

After extensive use of this stone with water trough, I'm beginning to think that this stone is much more suited to using something like a thick mineral oil on the cutting surface.  That may not even be thick enough because ideally it would not be something that would simply soak into the stone at all.  I suppose that is the issue with oil after all and wondering if there is anything similar one could use to both act as a coolant and a friction reducer to limit wear to abrasive much more than water and also keep the edge from losing temper.
