Speedometer cables are not supposed to have any type of grease. The correct type lube is dry graphite powder.
Any type of grease will gum up and cause problems later on down the road, because it will overheat eventually. Speedometers cables rotate very fast and will overheat grease and break it down over time. Graphite powder will not.
Agree. What I used on my old 71 years ago. Also used WD-40 to get it down into the cable housing. Used the graphite as what is used for locks. Getting to the cable housing is the biggest part of the task.
