Hi - couple of things I need to do and not sure what to use.
(1) back door hinge creaks
(2) sunroof needs lubricant
But not sure whether to use oil or grease for them.
Any hints>?
cheeeers!

Best thing is usually white spray on lithium (?) grease.

Can be had for a couple of £ from Halfords. Hangs around a long time as well once it sticks.

Silicone spray is my choice for the sunroof, and door hinges I also use it in the door key hole for winter

White lithium spray on.

Wd40 is water dispersant and not that great for lubjng things, - good at getting them unstuck though

3 in one - ditto

Grease would be fine

Free the hinge off with WD40 and then give it a good blast of spray white grease then wipe the excess off later, while you'r there give the check straps a blast to. If you are lubricating plastic or rubber use silicon spray lube.
