I have to make one point. It appears that this is a liquid lubricant (oil) solution (any lubricant described as "displacing moisture" is most likely to be an oil in my book.) When I decided to fix my cables and looked at the previous discussions for solutions, one of the points I considered to be important was that the Teflon dust is dry and does not attract dust that with oil can form gunk that could become as bad as the original problem. As there is almost always a pressure differential between the cabin and the outside air, it is unlikely that the cable ends communicate to equal pressure areas, and as such will always be 'breathing' air and its load of dirt. A wet cable solution will be "filtering" that dirt to make gunk. Think about the recommendation to lubricate cylinder door locks with graphite, not oil, just for that reason. Oh yes, I thought of one other reason, oil gets thicker as it gets colder, Teflon dust doesn't. That tail area doesn't have cabin heat, how cold does it get?
Just my two cents,

Thanks to everyone who responded to the lubricating issue for rudder cable. Thanks to Ron Laughlin, the answer already exists. We don't have to manufacture anything.Go to http://www.protectall.com/products.htm#Luber. It's a
no brainer. Don Barnes used the same lubricant (although without the benefit of the injector) and says it made a
HUGE difference. Steve Williams #206
