Shimano downtube shifter pod maintenance???

Nothin-fancy

I recently got a set of Shimano Dura Ace 7401 index/friction down tube shifter's and I'm wondering if there's any maintenance I should do to the shift pod inside the lever? I'm wondering if it needs grease or lube like brifter's???

Google just has answers about cleaning friction shifters and I already know that. I've only had Campy or Suntour indexed shifters before so this is new...
 
Just looked at my Zinn's repair manual and it says that there's no maintenance for it.

That shifter has the loudest index click I've ever heard. Which is why I was wondering if it got grease or something. No wonder they complained about other riders hearing your shift in the peloton. LoL
