3n1 oil is my lube of choice for spokes. If spoke loose tension it is because the tension i not high enough or the spokes have been bedded into the hjb or the niplples into the rim which you do by squeezing pairs of spokes. This may also stretch them a bit permenantly. So in short if you are finding your spokes are loosing tension your spoke stressing is not good enough or you have insuffient tension. Possibly both.
