Tip: Sticky Hood Latch

[davbell22602]

If your hood latch is sticky from releasing from popping the hood up. Then pour some chainsaw bar and chain oil. I did it mine back in the summer and havent had problem with it since.

I use white lithium grease for something like that. Its overall a better product for the purpose and is a smarter use than just dumping oil over the latch.

I have a plastic surgeon friend that always has leftover fat from liposuction procedures. He gives it to me free of charge. I use it for everything from lubing hood latches to homemade soap to greasing pie pans. I won't use it in the crust mix or anything like that though. That would just be gross.

Bar and chain oil is like STP, especially in cold weather.

Nothing I would love more than to pop my hood to check my oil, and have huge string of sticky oil that was stuck to the hood an core support, stripe me from head to belt.

That would be just nifty.

Lithium grease is pretty cool though

I use summer grade bar and chain oil year around. I was using Liquid Wrench Penetrating oil but is wasnt working very well.

I submerge my truck in a giant vat of Marvel Mystery Oil twice a year. Really lubes stuff up and it does wonders for the seats.
