This is definitely true. However, the majority of the friction our tubing (with our design) is encountering is not abrasive friction but more so caused by being stretched around a curved surface. I'm not sure how much oil based lubricants will affect latex in lower friction environments but definitely keep this mind as large amounts of latex tubing can be hazardous if it snaps.

We also use a fishscale to check the power of our shot, it's a good consistent way to track changes in your tubing.
