Just use ordinary string wax which is available from most archery suppliers, actually I think you can also make your own very easily out of something like bees wax etc, try googling making archery string wax.

I tried oil when I got mine at first. The string is so tight that it can't permeat and the oil just went everywhere. On a bow I would hate for it to slip while you are pulling it back and not properly aimed.

Try beeswax. Rub it in, like leatherworkers do to their threads. It only takes a little bit.
