I use a product called Superslick Key and Rotor Oil. It comes in a bottle
with a needle also. It works very well on the Clarinet.
I haven't tried it in my car yet. I figure at the price I paid for it
that it would probably $50.00 a quart.

I do. I bought a little bottle with a needle that allows one to apply it
more easily - completely filled - from Bill Brannen in 1990. The oil is
about halfway gone, but that's what he recommended then.
