Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Efficient Cable Lubrication with Motion Pro 08-0182 Cable Luber by Brad Phifer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Car Motorbike & Bicycle

Too bulky to lubricate some smaller cables, the rubber cone inside could have a smoother angle instead of just having 3 different sizes for cable glands. Has helped lubricate several new and old cables on bikes, garage doors, lawn mowers, motorcycles, cars etc and keep them running for years. It recently helped me save a ton of money by re-lubing the throttle cable on a 2003 Subaru Forester black box with wires in the engine compartment on the passenger side), the car had intermittent high idle while idling and parking (1500 to 3000 rpm / min), with "jerky forward" when the brake is fully applied. The symptoms appeared after the car warmed up to operating temperature. Luckily it wasn't a $400 idle control valve or electronic device with a throttle cable (replacement price unknown), I just had to clean and lubricate the throttle cables. for pennies of my favorite high-temperature dielectric lubricant for cables and circuits

Pros
  • A handy item
Cons
  • So far so good
