Yes, eventually the bearing will spin better, and it wont loop as fast.

With lube is best. Brain lube is perfect for the job.
Don’t put in alot though. You’ll want it to be able to sleep still: a drop or two will be sufficient, and then will last a while. I haven’t lubed mine in a long time, brain lube takes a long time to wear off.
~yo! shi!
