Only lube cables if needed.
Un-necessary lubrication leads to dirt collecting in the lube and causing more issues.

Leave as is as long as its working smoothly.
If it is not, look for other causes first, and if you are sure nothing else is causing it, then lube.
But at that point, it might be on its way out anyway and you are just extending its life a bit.

Good point on over lubing attracting dirt. I guess that's what I've been pretty much been doing, "no work needed if it's working smoothly." My current method of doing absolutely nothing for the past 28 years has worked fine this long so I guess there's no need to change my process at this point
