This doesn't directly answer your question but I like this stuff for lubing cables...
I 'had' an old bottle of stuff called "Kable Ease". I used it on heater control cables, speedo cables, etc. I really like this stuff. The last time I used it, the plastic container cracked and leaked all out
Anyway, I just googled and apparently it's still available...
