Replaced my black tank valve that had a long cable with just the standard short T handle 1.5 years ago. I lubed everything with Vaseline. Have not used anything else since and the valve opens and closes nicely.
The oil lube will help for a bit but honestly it's a BandAid.
Before doing the oil leave the valve open and let the tank fully drain and have the toilet empty and water turned off to the toilet then pour then oil in the toilet go outside and rapidly open snd close. Have a bucket under the outlet to catch the oil and go inside and dump. Repeat a few times.
