Good point!! ...The OP does have a carb model after all and they did ask "which oil?" & not "which engine oil?"!!
... & to be fair "3 in one" is probably one of the best options for carb "dashpot oil"

Imagine if he had asked "What engine oil is best and is it ok to order it from Minisport"

20/50w is what I suggested in my initial reply above and probably what most of us actually do. But this is probably the most commonly debated issue here on TMF and there are a number of different views on the matter, no doubt someone will be along shortly to offer the opposing view.
.... oh and you want 20/50w mineral oil
