speedometer cable lube

Hey guys Happy holidays, it's been awhile since my last post, what kind of lube for the seedometer cable should I use,my cable started making noise and I wonder if white lithium grease or graphite lube is better, what do you guys think.
thanks in advance.

I would either go Graphite or try a local Harley Dealership. I believe they have a cable lube (brake,clutch,throttle, and speedo) that I've heard is a real good product. The bottle even comes with a long super skinny tip (kinda like a Hummingbird's beak).

I went to o'reilly's and got some graphite oil lube for speedometer cable part #9-1812, and it looks it worked no more noise.
