Normally, it is already exposed on the lubrication on the ones it has been attached on so applying it daily is not required.

If it would lack lubrication, it would cause leakage. This is due to the reason that it would be in contact with the shafts which causes friction that would wear it away. But, there are lubricants that are not compatible on all types of material. You have to see to it that it would be compatible because, when you choose the wrong one, it could cause chemical breakdown on the parts.
