Silicone does work nicely on the larger cubes, but don't use a lot. Also I think it's better to work in the cube for a while without any lube to wear it down a little more smoothly first. Once the larger cubes wear down from use they start popping (think explosion) so you want to try to delay that process as long as possible.
I use a small amount of lube in the larger cubes, but you have to apply it a little more often than for a 3x3x3. I'd say I lube the 4x4 once every two weeks or so, and I tend to lube the 3x3 about once every 3-4 weeks.
