A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) comprising a conduit (12) having an inner surface slidably supporting a motion transmitting core element ( 16) and a coating of lubricant (28) on the core element (16) for reducing friction b etween the core element (16) and the inner surface of the conduit (12). The assembly (1 0) is characterized by an additive material (30) of phosphorous mixed with the lubr icant (28) for visually determining the presence of lubricant (28) with ultra violet l ight (32). The invention also includes a method of checking for the presence of a lubricant (28) on the core element (16) comprising the steps of mixing a lubrica nt (28) with a phosphorous material (30), applying the mixture to the core element (16) and subjecting the core element (16) to ultra violet light conditions (32) to visual ly inspect for the coverage of lubricant (28) over the core element (16).
