Default Old audio cassette won't play

I have an old audio cassette that I was going to transfer to my
computer.
It's probably about 20 years old.
When I play it in my cassette player it rolls very slow and uneven
which of course does not play well.
I can FF and REW it with no problem, and if I feel it by hand I don't
feel anything particular.
Is there any way to make the tape run smoother without risking the
contents of the tape?
Can I apply some kind of oil somewhere for example?
