Lube for Speedometer Cable??

Hello all, wondering what I should use to lubricate my speedometer cable? I had to pull the instruments etc. to install new bushings in my pedal box etc. so I can now easily get to the cable. It, or the speedometer was making a squeaking noise a few weeks back when it was cold. any recommendations ?

Thanks,

Scott in Dallas

It has been years but I think the last time I wiped it down to get rid of as much nasty old grease I could and then slathered on white lithium grease as I fed it back into the sheath.
