Is it okay to use silicone oil on yoyo bearings? I have actual yoyo bearing lubricant but I was just curious about it being good for yoyo bearings… I have tons of silicone lubricant from my other main hobby airsoft (Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 fanboy!). People pretty much use it for everything on airsoft so it seems pretty versatile.

Don’t use silicone oil. Its not good for small moving parts like bearings.
