Okay, so I've done a bunch of research and besides finding some rumors of (vegetable?) oil based lubricants eat away at plastic, I haven't been able to find some facts. So I was wondering if oil based lubricants work for lubing cubes. I bought a can because it said that it was environmentally friendly. What are your thoughts and experiences? Thanks!

in my experience and conversation with Donovan ( the lubix guy), the best lubricant is lubix, and vege oil is great for cooking and is not a very good lube for cubes, lubix is slightly expensive, but is very good and can easily last 3 months in your main, and does not take much to lube a cube

I wouldn't use it if I were you. Dont use something just because its is environmentally friendly when it has the possibility of ruining a cube.
Get a tube of Shock Oil 20000 WT and use that.

I just found out and tried that grlycerine works fine, not sure if it dissolves the cube dust, but, i guess ill find out

I normally use generic brand silicone spray, works pretty good, but I believe it does eat away at certain types of plastic.
Also found a bottle of Meffert's lube in a drawer somewhere today and lubed my ZhanChi with it. The cube is much less noisy now, though it's not quite as slick as it is with silicone spray.

just because water wont harm the environment doesnt mean that it will be a good lube
