Speedometer cable grease
I pulled my speedometer cable out today for cleaning. I have a Stewart 160 speedometer with a wire cable. What grease should I use and how much of the cable should I grease?

Re: Speedometer cable grease
With a more modern wire type cable I would wipe a light coating of chain bar oil, and feed the cable back into the housing from the bottom. This will eliminate build up of lubricant near the speedo head.

Re: Speedometer cable grease
Thanks for the response. I've got a jug or two of bar oil in the barn.
