This may sound unconventional, but I use a paint brush. I used to use sewing machine oil that came with a long needle applicator, but the individual droplets were too large and tended to mess things up. Now, with a tip of the brush, I have more control to apply the oil sparingly.

Dear Mow,
Use plastic compatible lubes, like our EZ Lubes. Place a small drop of light oil on the moving valve gear parts and axles, and a drop of conductive lube on the wheel treads.
Have fun!
