I doubt it but if you feel the are getting quite stiff it probably wouldn't hurt to lightly oil them.

I have lubed tuners and would recommend either Tri Flow or some sort of graphite lube. A drip bottle rather than an aerosol would be best, to avoid any staining or residual spray.

I use Tri Flow because I usually get it for free (we sell it at work, but the reps give us samples). It does a great job for precise lubing and doesn't stain.
