Is this product suitable for greasing back door hinges on our Boxer? (2 Viewers)

[Sedge5]

Would be grateful if any mechanic type experts out there would know if this product would be suitable for lubricating the hinges on the back doors of our Autosleeper Symbol - base vehicle Peugeot Boxer?

Or any alternative suggestions appreciated. The hinges already have a type of white grease on them but have bits of dust/dirt too so wanting to clean them up then re-grease.

Thanks

That should do the trick

I am thinking that will not have enough 'creep' to get into the actual hinge assembly. I may be wrong as i have not used it. You may be better off using something like a PTFE spray or ,as I do, just a simple oil can.

I recently re oiled or hinges after one got very stiff and started squeaking Also a boxer. Applied thin oil to the top of yhe pin and in any small areas around the hinge that moved. Kept opening and closing the door to work it in .
Worked a treat.
I wouldnt use WD40.

I wouldnt use WD40.

The OP is not suggesting normal WD40. The product in question is White Lithium Grease that is a WD branded product.

I think it will be good for the job. The aerosol can will have a propellant that thins the product so it can be sprayed. This also means it will penetrate a hinge and then the propellant evaporates off leaving a grease film.

It is also safer to use lithium if any plastics are involved than petroleum based products.

White grease is perfect for hinges so WD40 branded stuff will be fine

Oops didnt notice in the picture.

 

[Landy Andy]

Yep. That’ll be fine

be aware overspray of lithium grease will turn white and attract dirt like poo to a blanket

It does but, it’s a dirty beggar that doesn’t wipe excess overspray off afterwards!

I use this on mine. Quite runny, so penetrates well and use a paper towel to catch any runs.Do it once a year, works a treat!

Suggest you use motorcycle O ring chain aerosol
it has a frothing appearance when applied, but importantly has a penetrating ability
to lube the internal links of the bike chain
just wipe off the excess after applying, and just leave it to work
the ideal hinge lubricant

Yep, use on your retractable step too.

Be careful, the instructions inform you to shake regularly. What they don't tell you is.....................as soon as you stop shaking to point it where you want it to go, it stops spraying and will not work again, no matter what you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is exactly what I use on hinges and door latchs, also on whoosh bang door runners.

On stubborn beggers
ACF 50 comes in handy
Works well
