lubing cables.

Do you think Drislide would be good for brake pistons? Also, I think the problem with lubricating the new cables is not so much gumming things up but eating into the teflon coating and destroying it.
TESTED AND NAMED BEST GUN LUBE
In tests of weapons lubricants conducted during the Persian Gulf War, Dri-Slide® moly was named the best "for all parts that dust may get to: trigger groups, bolt carriers, operating rods, slides and barrels of pistols, M16 upper receivers, and for internal parts operating at high speeds and temperatures." Soldier of Fortune, February, 1991
GOES ON WET • STAYS ON DRY
Dri-Slide® Improved Weapons Lubricant goes on wet, penetrating into even the smallest spaces, and stays on dry after the liquid carrier evaporates. Dri-Slide provides long-lasting dry film protection, outlasts oily lubricants, does not attract dirt or dust, prevents rust and corrosion, and promotes a clean bore.
Dri-Slide, after the carrier evaporates, is
-40% Molybdenum Disulphide
-20% Graphite
-20% Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDP)
-20% Petroleum based rust inhibitor
ZDP is the additive in most motor oils which tends to plate onto steel and neutralizes the acids produced when the hydrocarbons oxidize.
A very well thought out combination of ingredients for metal lubrication applications where grease would be too thick.

It is not required and we are even told not to lube the new teflon cables. Last winter (only when it was cold) my clutch cable dragged and made a terrible noise, it has since cleared up with the warm weather, but I was thinking maybe some type of lube might help during the cold months.

I believe my 2011 SM does say to lube cables(clutch)every 5K.I have done this using Motion Pro cable lube with no issues.
