No, any old oil lubricates better than rust. Some people, myself included have used all sorts of fancy stuff but they all do the same thing.
Drive on and enjoy your car, I say.
The only downside to using a wet lubricant is that dirt will stick to it. I have fitted covers to the springs on my ost used cars.
