Mountain Bike Bars

What is causing my mountain bike’s stem/bar to be so creeky?
I have an Easton handlebar and a Raceface diablos stem and recently I have been hearing a creeking sound to it. I have heard this sound come from other people’s bikes before as well.
Is there anything I can do like put some oil in the stem bolts or….?
Thanks
Check the fork stem for play and adjust as needed. The bearings in a headset use greese not oil.
