Yeah, I usually lube the shimano pistons with Mineral Oil, but I haven't considered the friction aspect, as mentioned above. I always thought the recommendation to not lube with fluid was due to ham-fistery, and people fouling their pads when they don't know what the heck they're doing.
This is the kind of back-and-forth I love reading, so the more opinions, the better.
