I was always taught that with oil you use mineral on mineral, vegetable on vegetable, and animal on animal. So mineral on a bicycle, linseed on a cricket bat, and neatsfoot on a horse harness. The best thing for your new seals would be soak them in neatsfoot oil, though whether it is worth several pounds for 500ml. (plenty on Ebay), is up to you.
