I've used the mineral based "Old English Lemon Oil" for years, works great on Ebony and Rosewood fretboards.
I don't use it to treat the fretboard like many on this thread have described, but I use it kinda like a cleaner, where I actually apply it to a cotton cloth and use the cloth to clean the fretboard and pull off the grime and finger/oil/skin scuzz that builds up.
I am of a similar opinion as edboyle about over-oiling, I have observed that the wood only "takes" what it needs ...and no more.
