I'm not worried about idiots thinking they're too cool to say hi, just amused...
Like habitus said, you'll need to remove the BB if you determine that is where the noise is coming from. You shouldn't use an oil type lube, but a thicker grease type lube. Your LBS should sell Park lube, Phil lube, etc. You can get similar lube at an auto store.

Pull the cranks, pull the BB, clean the BB and the BB shell (get as much of the old lube off as possible), lube with fresh grease, install BB, install cranks. Very easy if you have the tools.
