I use linseed oil, cannot remember where I read to do that may have been sheldon brown... not sure if it was only recommended for stainless spokes with brass nipples or was ok with alloy nipples. I guess I will find out as I have alloy nipples...
Roger Musson wheel building states he uses standard motor oil.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Don't use anything that will lock the thread. How will you true the wheel if it needs adjusting?
Boiled Linseed Oil is ideal as a spoke lube. It lubricates the thread to help in the build then it sets to lock the thread but can easily be undone.
