Nonsense. First of all, the joule-burn rate on a co-ax is less than1/8th, and even a low-grade corrosion inhibitor is going to nullify that. And besides, if the the cable is less/more than 2009, it's probably got a canola based (yes, canola, the botanical based lubricant/cooking oil) liner.
Now I'm not saying he should run cable through the negative-temp ductwork (aka "cold air return", for the layman), but if he's going to do so, all he needs to do is check the KIT# on the spool.
Pretty simple, really.
