I use real wayoil on my machine and its significantly better than regular oil.
I am pretty sure the x and y gibs on your x3 are just the set screw type, I always just tighten mine down almost all the way and back them off just a hair untill the axis starts moving.
From the pictures I have seen, it appears the Z axis has a tapered gib which has a crew in the very top of the head which you turn in or out to tighten or loosen.
On the mini lathe, the gibs are little strips under the carrage that are screwed into it, to get access you typically have to remove the skirt and the chip tray on the back.
