Would anyone recommend this for lubricating a mechanical speedometer cable?

It is fantastic stuff, but the speedo cables that I take out are covered in grease. If your speedo cable needs lubed you need to take the whole thing out and grease it there is no other way.

i think it would work i use it on the shift cables on my utv to keep them moving free.

I purchased the Lifespan Fitness Silicone along with my manual treadmill. To date I haven't had to use any lubricant. I think the silicone lubricant would be better than WD 40 if you ever need a lubricant. My Phoenix treadmill runs just fine with no lubricant.

I do not think so. I have been careful not to let the cable end of my probes get wet. and they last for a while.

theoretically you could use this to pressurize a sealed jug to expel oil through a hose. Think reverse brake bleed. However, given finding a suitable jug to withstand pressure, relatively light duty of the pump, and fabrication, chances would be 50/50 optimistically. Some gear oil jugs come with hand pumps that work well as I suspect you are aware. I do know that large oil syringes exist but the one I have called a "mix mizer" would be too slow and tedious to use for the amount and thickness of gear oil necessary for a differential service. Would be an interesting experiment though.

If you are referring to the pump lubrication i would say no. You need a hydraulic fluid, like Wagner's Hydraulic Fluid. Or Graco's Pump armor both are pretty good

No! But if you like the product you can buy a auto speed cable that will work for your purpose alright!

I would NOT recommend using this product for what you are suggesting. Product is very thick, like Vaseline petroleum jelly. I use it around rubber O rings and gaskets with hot tub and swimming pool equipment. Hope this helps.

Mine doesn't do that, and I'm not a mechanic. Lubrication sounds reasonable, but I don't know. Sorry.

You can, but you will chew up the cable faster that way. Best to use on rubber mating.

This grease is non-conductive, so it can be used in applications like you describe. It's appropriate for when you want lubricating properties, like a spark plug boot, or moisture resistance, like in a light socket exposed to some moisture (think automotive tail lights, or electrical connectors). It's viscosity is thin enough that as long as the connector pins fit tightly, or the contacts in the socket are spring loaded, then the grease will be easily pushed out of the way allowing the contact to be made.

i wouldn't, they make a bore cleaner also. best lube i have ever used though.

The needle nozzle should work fine. I use it on my UTV throttle and shift cables. Just slide needle into end of cable and squeeze. Terry

Cannot help out here. I use it as a lubricant on an aluminum bullet casting mold. JC in So Cal

I think so... it says that it can be used to lubricate door locks, trunks lids, brake cables, and rubber or plastic.

o-rings and plastics will last longer if you avoid using petroleum lubricants, I would use silicon grease.

Hi John, my suggestion would be to go to any hardware store and buy a tube of lubricant. It is specially made for different types of metals and it looks like vaseline. Sometimes it is tinted blue. Depending on what size of tube you get, it will probably run you anywhere from 5-10 bucks. Thank you for choosing Goedekers. If you have any questions please cal 1-888-768-1710.

Maybe this will help: http://www.ehow.com/how_5637672_lubricate-treadmill-belt.htmlBe careful not to place oil close to either side. I use rubber gloves to spread the lubricant.
