applying bore oil

Do most people apply bore oil?
I have never read the buffet user manual so I don't know what it says, but Yamaha manual appear to suggest that you do about four times a year.

What is your routine and what is the general experience.

All I do is swab it clean after each use and use high quality paper towel to wipe it down clean and get it as dry as possible before it is put away after each time it is played.

The shop guy tells me the clarinet appear to have been well cared for... and I know I take care of it like a baby. But I don't know if majority of the pros oil their bore as part of routine maintenance. Has anyone not applied bore oil over 5 or 10 years without any issues? Or, is this a crazy talk...

My son's clarinet is now 17 month old and has never been oiled in the bore and has not had any issues other than tarnished nickel keys, which will be re-plated with silver shortly.
