Body Lubrication

▼ Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks,
should be lubricated each time the
engine oil is changed. Use a
nonfreezing lubricant on locks during
cold weather.
Make sure the hood's secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.
