Rather than oil the best thing for locks is a dry lube called graphite. One of our riders called Locksmith on here is the expert who told me that. Normal domestic locks anyway, no reason it wont work on a bike lock
Yeah graphite lock spray is amazing. I had the same problem as Tommy on my old thundercat and a quick squirt of graphite spray solved it instantly. Then used to have to use it about once a month or after a washing it.
Think it only cost about £4 too

The word "spray" -- more like a puff as it is a dust like product, unless you have something else. I got this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Graphite-Powde...Sw-jhUAHmq

That is the exact one that I just purchased on evilBay Sharpie, I will wait until the powder is delivered and I will try to was the oil out with copious amounts of WD40 and leave it for a while before puff dusting the lock with the graphite dust. I believe that WD dries out a a reasonably fast rate, but maybe I should do it now give it more time to dry up. :thumbup
Cheers for the tip Darrsi I will try that as well

I wouldnt add it to anything else in there or you will end up with a thick porrage.
Maybe some contact cleaner which will readily evaporate ?
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
