When I lube, and I haven't found it necessary to be nearly as frequent or as excessive as the previous poster, I just try to get a couple drops to migrate under and on top of the spring clip and wiggle it about. At least in my conditions, I find that doing so helps to keep the clip-in and -out action/force smooth and easy.
