Yes, the winding action on the MX is very different from that of the K-series.
Early MX's sometimes have a slightly uneven or ragged action, which was compensated in later models into a winding very similar to that of the K-series, except that K bodies are heavier and therefore may seem more generally sturdy than the MX if you are used to heft.
I had read about this, but I only understood it fully when I obtained a KM, and compared it to my two MX's.
I believe the fix requires some sort of spring adjustment rather than lubrication, but I invite correction if I am wrong.
