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 |
Re: a lubing question
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. bob Yuri Nebogatov wrote: > > 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 |

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

Re: a lubing question
This may sound odd, but I use Remoil gun cleaning oil for things like this.
Remoil is a light oil with suspended Teflon. The Teflon really penetrates and works well for hinges, locks, even the mechanical parts of electronic equipment like cassette decks. The lubricating effects last quite a while too. You can find it in Walmart or any gun shop. Since you are worried about the hinges attracting dirt, you can spray them down thoroughly, work them back and forth to get the Teflon in it, then wipe off the excess.
