RE: {Chrysler 300} Speedometer Cable Lube

Well, I may just have to order some of that ‘groil’. LOL !

Thanks John.

It’s more viscous than an oil but less than a grease. I pulled the cable out almost all the way and dabbed on and worked it by fingers. It will drip but not like oil drips.

I’ll call it “groil” 😁 — half way between grease and oil!

Hey John –

Is this a grease, or is it like 3-in-1 oil with graphite suspended in the oil ?

I just lubed my ‘56 speedo with product below. Made in Michigan.
Is a blackish color so maybe some graphite in it although they don’t list ingredients. Seemed to do the job. Got it either on Amazon or EBay.

Hey Folks –

What does everyone use for speedometer cable lubricant ? This is the actual cable lube, not the lube for the wick at the speedo head.

Years ago, NAPA sold a product called Lub-A-Cable, which is a graphite cable lubricant. Also, Dorman had a product, 9-1812 or 03344, which is the same thing. But neither seem to be available now. A call to Dorman said that they have none in stock.
