No need to lube the box. Just make sure there's no dirt in there before you put the new filter in. The advantage is it creates more of a seal on the filter, but it's squished in there pretty tight.
If you do lube it, do not put any grease/oil on the intake side of the box (i.e. after the filter). If any of it gets loose and goes down the intake it can foul up your Mass Air Flow sensor. Mucho dinero for that baby. It's best to just put it around the top edge of the rubber seal on the filter if you do it.

Just edited my first post suggesting you do the cabin filter too. Easy to do.
