My question:

I know that Traxxas 30k and 50k works well on cubes. However, those lubricants are not good for bigger cubes such as the 7x7, so is the Traxxas 10k a good option?

Also, are there any other brands of differential oil similar to Traxxas 10/30/50k? This is just for reference before I make phone calls looking for the product(s), because there is absolutely no information on these Traxxas products in Taiwan and I don't plan on paying as much money as the product costs.

I suggest Maru lube for big cubes. Although yes, Traxxas 10k works too. I know another brand of silicone oil called Team Associated, you may want to consider that.

Thanks, I already use Maru for bigger cubes, but I hate reapplying it so often.

Lubricating a 3x3x3 rubiks cube

There are so many lubricants people use I don't know which one to use to lubricate my rubiks cube. I know it has to be silicone based so it doesn't "eat" my cube. What should I use to lubricate my cube? I have a Dayan Zanchi V5, A MoYu AoLong V2 and a FangShi ShuangRen II. Should I use a different lubricant for each one?

Lubicle Regular if you are willing to spend the money. It is amazing

Where can I get that? Do I have to order it online?

yea. Go to thecubicle.us They have very reasonable prices. I would definitely recommend all their products. A product came to me with a broken corner (moyu aosu) and they are sending me a replacement.

My understanding is that the best bang for your buck is 50k weight differential oil, like the kind Traxxas make. It's much cheaper than specialty lube and works just about as well, with 50ccs in the bottle that enough for 300+ regular sized puzzles. I've seen some serious speedcubers say they use it in their videos. But hey, if you don't like it, it was crazy cheap anyway.

would Cubicle Weight 5 for core and Cubicle Weight 3 for pieces & screw works well on my Aolong v1?

Any thicker silicone lube will work for the core, any lube will work for the pieces (amount may vary depending on what lube it is)

Actually I'm not quite sure if those lube are thick or not, I just follow the what the youtubers recommend .. i guess it should work ?

Weight 5 is good for the core.
Weight 3 is good for pieces too but you may want to consider weight 2 as well. I recommend getting them both to try.
