Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

If you're going to oil, use a thin low viscosity oil. Especially if you ride when it's cool out.

Otherwise the oil's viscosity can act like a hydraulic damper, causing sluggish cable movement and shifts when shifting in the slack cable direction.
