Tuning Tri-Flow vs AWS?

Hi all - total nube here, so apologize in advance if this a dumb question.

I just purchased my first gun, the Umarex Thompson SMG. I have learned that each CO2 cartridge should have a drop of lube applied to the tip. I know there's special lube for this (AWS chamber lube) but I have a bunch of Tri-Flow and was wondering if that could be used in place of the AWS?

Thanks in advance!
