Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 353/346/H=05/1436) When he took an oath that he won’t tell a lie then he must have fulfilled it. However, after telling lie first time, he will be required to pay kaffarah and the oath came to an end. و تنحل اليمين إذا وجد الشرط مره (الدر مع الرد 5/605، زكريا) However, it is necessary to avoid telling a lie in any case.
