Should the pTrumpet/pCornet valves be lubricated?

The valve system is low maintenance – designed to operate without any oil or lubrication. However, regular valve oil can be used sparingly and applied thinly across each piston. You may find the application of valve oil or water does not improve valve performance, in which case, clean and dry each piston and the inside of the valve casing thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
