Oxides will theoretically add resistance... But in practice, this only has a significant effect if the corrosion/oxidation is at the interface of a connection between two parts. In other words, corroded connections need to be prevented, repaired or replaced... Surface oxidation on an element is for all practical purposes, is only cosmetic issue.
