Mmmmnnn you shouldn't really need to do this. If your cables are sticky, replace them. Good quality modern cables have low-friction liners so they don't need any lubrication - adding oil just drags grit and grime up into them so they wear out even faster.
A two-pack of Shimano 105 brake cable with inner/outer/nipple/cap is what, twelve quid? Not much point in being a cheapskate about it!
