Hinge lubricant
My 2010 MCSC has dry trunk hinges. Not a speck of lube on them or the latch.
I believe they should have something on them. Is White Lithium Grease the proper stuff. Or suggest a good application. Thanks.

Not sure about the converties, but most hinges need a lubricant. Check the owners manual. White Lithium grease is what I normally use on my hinges, but I use a dry graphite lubricant too. It comes in an aerosol can and is made by Gunk. Of the store sells it, it'll be with the other lubricants. It makes less mess.

White Lithium is messy when sprayed. Thanks for the info.
