Keep the cable oiledThis was the right answer

Where the manufacturer specifies oil lubrication, use the recommended lubricant and procedure to reduce cable friction. Some lined control cables must not be oiled, because oil can retain dirt or harm their operation. Follow the instructions for the cable actually fitted and replace damaged or frayed cables.
