Kind of reviving this thread since I have a roller inductor that was 
acting a bit flaky, so I took it out and gave it a good cleaning in my 
ultrasonic cleaner.  No lubes left on it now and it's very clean.  So, 
what is general consensus, DeOxit D5 is Ok to use to use on the roller?  
Unsure how much of a lubricant it is, but I know it's a great contact 
cleaner.
