a lubing question
 

some metal joints in my car feel like they;re in pain this winter (door
joints, door barely opens in heavy cold)
is wd-40 an ok lubricant to use here? or is there another type of lubricant
generally used for these purposes in a car?
I cant use oil since it'll get contaminated fast (it's open to the outside
when u open door), do any of you guys use some particular brand that you can
recommend?

thx for the time

Yuri

Find a spray can of silicon , JUST silicone, and use it on the hinges.
Don't spray the door hold open catch. It won't work if you lube it.

Yuri, I use a white lithium grease (either an aerosol spray or out of a
tube), on the door hinges. Works fine, and stays in place.

WD-40 is not a lubricant. It's a water displacer. It can also work as a
penetrating oil.
