Yes. And technically, you can put any liquid in an electric motor. If you disassemble it, a lot of small objects would fit inside as well.
As for the correct electric motor oil:
"Mineral oils are adequate for most electric motor bearing applications. However, synthetic base oils may be required for extreme temperature applications or where longer regreasing intervals are desired. The thickener primarily serves as a carrier for the oil and prevents it from leaking out of the application."

I would look up the model of the motor and try to find the manufacturer specs and see if they recommend oil type.
