Lithium or Silicone (lithium is generally white and it will remain visible, which may be annoying to some)

Keep it simple; EVERY time you change your oil, (you DO change your own oil, don't you?, If not, why not? I don't trust some spotty faced, minimum wage, teenager to remember to tighten the drain plug), use your pump operated oil can, (you DO have one of those, don't you? if not you need one, they're cheap. Fill it with the oil left in the cans. There is always a couple of tablespoons left in the bottle), and lube the door hinges, the hood hinges, the door latch assys., the hood release mechanisms, etc, etc. Do this every time you wash the car, too. helps to keep the car from feeling "junky" and makes things work as they should.

I bought the Torq E-8 socket to remove the grease injection plug on my 850's door hinges but don't know of a good way to inject the grease. A Zert fitting won't fit in there

Thanks
