Suntour Radion x1 Air forks. Should I oil the stanchions? I have various oils in the garage. Fully synth engine oil, 3in1, silicone spray....olive oil in the kitchen. Can I use any of these or should I get some purpose made oil. Or, can I use any of these until I get some proper stuff?

Olive oil
Get some proper stuff - I use a couple of drops of Brunox fork lube but I have used Finishline Wet Lube in the past"Why have that extra tooth if you're not using it?" - Brian Lopes

Fork Juice works great for me, lasts a while too. A few people on here are paranoid about aerosols around bikes but as long as you're careful with covering your brakes/discs you'll be fine ;-)"I should live in salt for leaving you, behind"
