I find lubing then when disconnected is easiest. I hold them aimed up so they are higher than hand-grip. Then drip oil in from squeeze-bottle. And operate throttle through full-range. Yes, I can hold cables and oil-bottle and squeeze it all at same time with one hand. You may need to have an assistant operate throttle. You can actually put in quite a lot of oil to keep cables lubed.
Yeah, bicycle shops have those contraptions that attach to end of cables and let you connect straw from spray-can of lube. But that's almost like cheating, where's challenge in that!?@
