I am pretty sure your clutch cable is teflon lined and requires no lubing. If you can see a white tube like cover on the cable do not oil it, it doesn't help. If you have to oil, i suggest you do not use DRY SLIDE as it cakes up at the bottom and makes clutch pull much harder than it should be. been there done that, nuff said

I also use the Dri Slide. It works great. The needle applicator helps big time. Here is a link for the stuff.

+1 - The newer cables (since 2009??) have a visible (white) Teflon liner and are not supposed to get/need lubrication. If you feel the need to lube one of these, I wouldn't use anything other than Dri-Slide.
