Yes, like any machine it needs normal maintenance and oil. Just use a light machine oil like 3 in One or sewing machine oil. Spread a very light film and move the axis full travel using the jog mode in Simplify3D. Don't move them by hand unless you do so very slowly. The motors can generate enough back EMF to destroy the drivers if they are not properly protected and I am not so sure XYZ did that since they are custom drivers.
Once the Axis moves back and forth a few times wipe off the excess oil at each end so it won't collect dust.
