Default spring handle scissors - do you oil yours?

Several years ago I purchased a pair of the Fiskars scissors with a spring in the handle. I love them. One of the best quilting purchases that I have made

They are still very sharp, but from time to time they get "stiff" (for lack of a better word). The other day I was complaining about them and my son says "they probably need oiled". He took them into the kitchen and put some vegetable oil on the spring.....and wow that made a big difference. All loose and springy again.

Do you guys oil your spring scissors? If you do what do you oil them with? I mean the vegetable oil did the trick but that seems odd.
