I have not investigated too far, but I've been told it's not easy to fix, which is why so many are like that still. I'm not sure it's a lubrication issue. Again, only relying on what someone told me, I have heard it has to do with a felt ring or something of the sort inside, which wears. It's too bad because it's an annoying problem, especially when attempting macro work. Sometimes a piece of tape placed under the sliding part of the zoom can help, but it's annoying to have to apply a home-made workaround to what ought to be a better design.
