I suppose you COULD. But I would highly recommend just getting some specific yoyo lube for your bearings. I know you mentioned you don’t want to have to wait, but sometimes, you are going to have to. If it is a YoYoJam yoyo, they make specific [lube](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/58/YYJ-Lube) for their ball bearing yoyos. If you are a beginner and like responsive yoyos, get some thick lube, if you are more advanced, pick up some thin lube. So COULD you use “tuflon oil” as lube? Sure, but I would highly recommend just waiting a few days for some specific yoyo lube. - “Better safe, than sorry.” ;D ---

Never heard of “tuflon oil”. But if you mean “teflon oil” then the answer is yes. That is what Yomega Brain lube is. It’s a synthetic, teflon based lube Made by Synco. Sold under their own label it’s known as Synco Super Lube. You can get it in most any hardware store. Aaannnddd - It works in ALL bearings, ALL brands. :wink: ---

> [@dvdude888](#): > > as u can see in my name i use a yyf dv888 but i also have a yyj dm2 so is their a way to use a multibrand thin lube? Sure! I don’t think YYF sells specific lube like YYJ does. So you can do that. They are all ball bearings after all… ---

If you play a DV888, you probably want to keep it unresponsive. YYJ Thin Lube will do just that. Brain Lube is SUPER THICK and will really make your yoyo responsive. I HIGHLY recomend just waiting a couple days on some YYJ Thin Lube. I use it in all my yoyos and it has never failed me. ---

A light application of brain lube will not make it responsive. Soak it in, yes it will.
