What should I use to lube my mini Shengshou 7x7 and mini Weilong v2?

Does anyone know of a video on how to lube a cube with Traxxas 50K Differential Oil or is it the same as Lubix

You lube the cube with traxxas the same way you lube with lubix , the only thing is that lubikx comes in a syringe but traxxas comes in some sort of bottle.

I suggest that you lube your weilong with lubix and dont lube your mini ss 7x7
silicone spray ruin your cube and lubix is weitu thick for bigger cubes

30k for bigger cubes (5x5,6x6,7x7)
50k for 0x0,1x1,2x2,3x3,4x4

is that just for the core, or also the pieces? Should I get a lower weight for the pieces?

if you are going for traxxas, 50k works for smaller cube and yes, as well as the core screw and pieces

I have been using a Sulong for about 6 months without any lube. Would it significantly benefit from lube, and if so what lube should I get?

Is D39 spray a good lubricant for lubing Moyu Aolongs (normal sized and mini)? I've used CRC silicone spray before on a Zhanchi and it ruined it so I'm a bit worried. Will the D39 speed-up the cube or spoil it?

It should be good but I highly recommend 30k or 50k Silicone Diff Oil.

Thanks. Should I apply similar amounts of lube as lubix? Also should I get a different viscosity for the core?

Lubix is the same as traxxas 50k

Brill. Do I need a different viscosity for the core or hardware?

I personally use 50k (to answer your question, yes it should be very thick) for core and 15k for pieces.
