Just remember that no amount of oil or anything else can repair a badly rusted cable. It's a danger and should always be replaced. The last thing you want is for it to snap suddenly and you lose steering while at speed. That's an invitation for disaster.

The steering cable is not that old I think it's just that it's out side and we had a very bad winter , it just needs to be lubricated but I wasn't sure if it would be good to get penetrating oil in the cable between the cable and outer casing but I think it would be ok so I have to spend some time on it and oil the you know what out of it
