Agreed, if you were to immerse the whole thing in oil then it could be a
tad
excessive, but since most of us are not that stupid.......
I have probably had more experience in this than many over my lifetime,
and
found that a couple of drops of the correct grade of oil can work wonders.
That way it never gets near any commutator, so will be no problem.
Perhaps if I lubricated it with easystart, or similar, or brake fluid
even.
That's probably the most volatile fluid on a car these days.
