What, you don’t even have a can of 3-in-1 oil sitting around? Musical instrument oil, gun oil or fishing reel oil works fine too. Otherwise go to the hardware store and get some Synco Superlube. I’ve used it for years. Works fine. ---

sewing machine oil also be careful with trumpet valve oil some is really thick while other times its really thin. ---

Guys I know I seem stupid for asking this and not just buying lube but I don’t have many yoyos and I’m probaly not going to order one for a while and I think it is silly just to order just lube by itself. ---
