fmfarrisjr Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 I own a 1948 Dodge d-24 sedan. Is there some way to lubricate the speedometer? I've reviewed previous posts but for the life of me I can not find any oil port/wick on the speedometer. Was this eliminated on the d-24 model? Quote
busycoupe Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 On my 48 Dodge there is an oiling hole on the back of the speedometer. It is on the top of the cast housing and is difficult to get to. I used a "Zoomspout" oiler that has a long flexible tube to oil it. Just a few drops of oil are enough. Quote
fmfarrisjr Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Posted January 2, 2020 Thanks -- will look for it. There sure is virtually no room behind the dash. Quote
rvannoy1 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Posted January 7, 2020 I used powdered graphite to lubricate my 47-P15 and it worked great. If you use mineral based oil it should be light weight so that in cold weather it won't be too thick and break the cable. Ask me how I know? I drove my 47 every day in the early sixties, even in the winter when it would be near zero here in West Virginia and the graphite did the trick. Quote
