Whenever I take the keys off the instrument I use pipe-cleaners on all the key-tubes and I shine the rods carefully with a clean thin cotton handkerchief. I then put a droplet of oil into each tube and lightly oil the rod before assembling.

Loc-tite will definitely work - a tiny drop deep in the threaded pillar, far from any moving parts. Don't put any on the rod itself. Keep a tissue at the open end of the threaded pillar to catch any loc-tite that is extruded. Clear nail-varnish will probably work just as well.
