Multi-purpose Car Lube question

[houdini1313]

I am looking for a long lasting multipurpose spray lube for door hinges, and the little lever that opens and closes the fuel door (06 Honda Civic) What options do I have material (chemical composition) and what brands types do you recommend based on your experiences. Thanks!

Gee, just about anything in a spray can!

Probably white lithium grease!

White lithium sucks! It gets hard and sticky. Motorcycle chain wax is good for this kind of stuff

White lithium spray grease.

If its getting hard/drying out you got a bad can as I have never seen that from spray white lithium grease.

Have an old can of white lithiun grease from my dad's workshop-it must be 40 odd years old and looks like new!

I like Fluid Film. I had one door that just would not seem to quick popping until I tried Fluid Film.

The lithium grease will stay 'moist' in an enclosed space like between metal pieces. It would be good. Or LPS 3.

I have used spray lubes for guns and rifles. It has Teflon in it. Works pretty good on my beater and truck.

I've had good results with many lubes for door hinges.
-Liquid Wrench Lubricant with CERFLON
-Triflow oil
-Fluid Film
-Probably many more

I'm sure some last better than others but I don't consider it a very demanding application. Heck I bet regular silicone spray would do the trick too. Or any given liquid oil dripped on.

I use motor oil on the tip of a screwdriver or 3 in1 oil with the little applicator for those things. I've used spray grease before and it never works out for me.

GM sells a product called Spray Lube specifically for door hinges, hood latches, etc. It also works on Fords and Subarus.

Motor oil in a pump can.

I like using bike chain lube or WD-40 dry lube for hinges and latches.
