When I had the front tire changed, the speedo cable started winkin' at me out the bottom of the tube, and so for lack of anything better to do whilst I waited for the wheel to come back, I applied to the cable a coating of Mobil's own red synthetic grease, of which I still have around 70 lbs of from another life. Was it the right stuff to use? Well I dunno, but it was "there' at the time I needed it. It would flow through an air driven Lube Jockey at minus 20 F, so hopefully it's all good.
