Afer work, I once made dinner for my housemates. After the meal, one of the housemates was like: "if you cooked, you gotta wash the dishes!" ok, so I washed the dishes. After the dishes, the housemate was like: "If you used the cast-iron pan, you have to 'season' it with oil!" and I was like: wtf I worked all day, I cooked, I did the dishes, now I have to cook again just to make the pan happy?!? So I never used a cast-iron pan again.
We use cast iron every day in this house. My wife is scrubbing a pan behind me right now. And no, we don't oil it either.
I judge the need for oil based on the shine of the pan after cleaning.
Just fried chicken in a fair amount of oil? Dump the oil, wipe, rinse, dry, back to bed in the oven.
Did I cook something that left a residue? After hot water and maybe some salt to scrub if the finish looks flat, I'll rub on a little oil.
