I even used the loctite green permeable stuff once that you can put in post assembly.
If you pull up your spoke tensions evenly and to close to the max your rim will allow, and pay
attention to stress relieving (which you should do anyhow), your spokes aren't gonna magically
reposition themselves as you ride. Personally, I find spoke prep to be ridiculously overpriced,
but to each his or her own.
I use regular motor oil as well. I'd say the 10K miles I have on my current set of commuter wheels support my method.
