I would use any auto engine type oil. Also rest the bit for 1 second every 5 seconds by letting up on the pressure. this helps to break heat build up on the tip. I would not use water, wd 4o,3in1 or that kind of light stuff. You might have to heat the cast iron first since it can be brittle and can easily crack/break if too much pressure is put on a small area.A small propane torch would probably be enough heat-you're not smelting it, just heating it!I would use thread cutting oil and a SHARP bit.
