I did.
Personally, I prefer to run molasses in my machines. I once say a demo on one kind of oil versus another. Two sets of plastic gears in a small display. Crank the handle to turn the gears, the bottom one of which dipped in oil, which in turn worked it's way to the top.
The cheap stuff didn't trail to the top near as quickly as the good stuff.
I made a comment, to which the guy behind the counter responded, "Replace the cheap stuff with molasses, and it'll beat the good stuff"
I've ran molasses in all my machines every since........................
