Question on lapping fluid for diamond stones......

The Trend lapping fluid for diamond stones is currently selling for $26.99 for a 8.4 oz bottle on Amazon......that's more than $400/gallon......that's an amazingly expensive oil.....and is it necessary??

What about using mineral oil instead......any issues that make mineral oil a poor choice??
