I really think you want to put oil on the stone....

Yup and yup.

When I was a kid and didn't know any better I used an oil stone dry.
It dulled, loaded up and basically sucked, and cut slower. If you use
an oil like mineral oil, which is not much of a lubricant, it does
enhance the cutting action.
