Where did you apply the lubricant?  It is really difficult to lubricate the 
entire cable since you can only apply it to the ends.  You may have to 
remove the cable and hang it vertically and introduce the oil at the top and let 
it infiltrate the length of the cable.  Moving the cable back and forth 
will help accelerate the process.

Or you could install a new cable.

Good luck
