There are certain pots that do not have a graphite based resistive track that may require a special lubricating surface including the wire wound pots mentioned in your links but graphite is an excellent lubricator.
I am not talking about the bearing grease in a pot or the inner conductive metallic ring.
Inox (I use the standard MX3) IS an oil, so is Lanolin but firmer at room temp, but I doubt that is the main ingredient and you must be related to the inventor to know that because just like Coca cola and WD-40 nobody knows what is in it, despite the B.S. found on the Internet.
You will not find the composition of MX3 on the official Inox site. They have a special Lanolin based grease but I doubt that is what you are talking about.
So like you said above I will also not use oil (or grease) in a carbon pot.
In the 40 odd years I have been servicing electronic equipment I never had and have always done very well.
If a pot could not be successfully cleaned then it got replaced and cleaners were mostly used as a temporary measure anyhow. If I did a job for a customer, scratchy pots and sockets were ALWAYS replaced.
...and while we are at disposing myths here is for entertainment something I found about WD-40:

Seems different caus!es for scratchy pootsI. I think oxidisation features big.Thing is though that Inox works.Had Pana plasma about 2 yrs ago with half screen b/w roll pic. Removed many plugs inside used Inox replugged perfect pic still 2 yrs on. My Inox has PTFE added. Point is this STUFF WORKS! AND OBVIOUSLY prevents. Oxidisation reoccurring!
Just don't spray it in pots LOL
