Can Zoom ring of 18-55 kit lens be lubricated/fixed at home?

Thanks for the links, Rafael.  Dropping gun oil around the zoom ring circumfrence seems like the most simplest fix to try first, but there seems to be some controversy about which oil is the best to use.  I'm hoping maybe my local repair shop may have some free advice! If that doesn't work, it look like disassembling the lens like the YouTube video showed would probably be the next step.  I would hope the design of the 18-55 lens would be similar enough to the 24-70 in the video that I could follow the instructions without panicking!
