Makes no difference. Lube is used to fill in rough rubbing surfaces so the peaks don't rub against each other and shear off material. This is the basis of lubrication.

Well, it actually does.

CI is easier to lubricate effectively than steel.

The larger grain structure in CI provides a lot of places oil can sit and not be actually at the friction points.

This allows it to migrate after the a moving pass back out on the surface.
