*NOTE* Look at my picture for viscosity if you're too lazy to read the thread or to look at the picture, here's the viscosity of Diff oil you want to look for = 50,000 WT (Fifty Thousand weight..... measurement unit should not be cST, It should be WT)

I have found the approximate viscosity of Lubix in an experiment which was not intended to hurt the sales of Pixel. I got the viscosity from a source but I was kind of paranoid so I tested it and it was actually correct! Some people compared Lubix with Shock oil which is basically a runnier version of lubix (Only goes up to 200wt I think) I bought the 200wt shock oil but it wasn't thick enough so I tried to find a thicker version of shock oil so I asked my friends who had RC building/racing as a hobby if there was suck a thing and they told me there was! it was called Differential Silicone Oil which was also for RC cars. This oil went up to 200,000wt ( Two hundred thousand). My friend told me that the approximate viscosity was about 50,000 wt (Fifty Thousand) so I went ahead and bought some Ofna 50,000 wt Silicone Diff oil from a hobby shop (you can get some on eBay; Traxxas is also a good company). I got 40cc for $12 including taxes. I tested the viscosity of Lubix and the Diff oil and what do you know? They were about the same! I tested it in 2 different GuHongs with the same tension set and no mods. I used a syringe with a makeshift applicator and the Results were about the same! I went ahead and asked about 28 people from my school to try the cube and tell me which was smoother and they said that they were the same.

Conclusion
The Differential Shock oil has the same performance of Lubix. It has a lower price than lubix and it also has a higher quantity of liquid than Lubix. If Lubix stopped producing the FANCY STICKERS, the price would probably be cheaper. The Diff Oil has a very simple label and it does not include a syringe (comes in a bottle). Overall, I would get the Lubix if you're lubing a few cubes because they make it easy for you with the syringe. If you want the better deal though, I would get the Diff oil because it is basically the same substance as Lubix.
