For the cost involved I would change the oil/filter, you know it makes sense!
I usually replace cable inners with cycle brake cable, I think the last one I bought did the throttle, choke and starter switch! - for 99p!

Second vote for cycle cable. If you have already put new oil/filter in the engine just run it for 5000 miles, then change it.
