why would you?? they should not have to be oiled and it is a good idea to keep oil away from your barrel.

A little on the threads is all he is talking about. Not getting it inside.

I won't hurt a thing but you really don't need it.

I agree. I put a drop or two on mine every now and then. He's right about not really needing it but it does keep things moving smoothly and helps keep the wear and tear down on the threads. Just don't put more then a drop or two and wipe off the excess. I've done this with all my markers and have never had a problem.
