    Umm, so you go by "random" maintenance? If  something needs it, fine. 
If it doesn't, why bother? 
 
    As far as replacing the cables - same thing. There  are 3 reasons why 
you would want to replace them - none of them "maybe it's  time". Real rust, 
cable damage or broken strands are the real reasons to  consider cable 
replacement. If those conditions don't apply, then it's probably  not worth the 
effort. 
 
    IMO if it ain't broke - don't fix it.
