It is what opinel recommend when I had the problem.
EDIT: On a carbon steel blade, and just a drop. Says it here in the link https://www.opinel.com/en/opinel-and-me/tips/improve-the-opening-the-knife
I wouldn’t recommend applying oil to an opinel pivot. I suspect it will make the wood swell. Wipe the blade with oil but not the pivot.
