what to use to lube cam

I'am installing a new cam, and the motor probably wont get fired for a couple of months. What do I lube the cam with, it's a hydralic roller because it did'nt come with any lube.

Lube the cam journals and bearings with some 30W oil. Other than that, there's nothing else needed.
One other thing, the lifters should be submerged in oil for ~30 minutes before putting them in their bores.
