Use the Utilities>Search function on the left-hand menu, and search for "fretboard oil" (no quotes), change the Keyword options to "And" and Search topics to "(All Topics)". You'll come up with several threads that offer various opinions.   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Sunday, February 26, 2006 - 9:27 am:    Here is some info ..... http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/discus/messages/5751/6479.html?1112872653   Skybone Username: Skybone Registered: 03-2001 Posted on Sunday, February 26, 2006 - 12:18 pm:    I'd say that they don't need any more additional maintenance than your average guitar. The usual method of cleaning/caring for any fingerboard is using Lemon Oil, but a lot of people don't like it because it's a sythetic oil that only smells lemon-y. Wipe it on, then wipe it off, maybe leaving it to soak for a little while in between. You can buy it from most guitar shops.
