What grease to use on door hinge replacement?

Before I spray some white lithium grease into the sleeves of the hinges, thought I'd ask around. Is there a best type to use in the sleeves and around the pin?

White grease is what's recommended, or ATF for regular maint. But yours look disassembled, I would be tempted to use #2 EP (Red Chassis Grease)

Thanks for the reply, I asked the mechanic that helped me break 2 of these apart and he recommended white lithium grease, said the lithium holds up really well. But now I'm curious, what would be the advantage you think in the #2 EP?

The shortrun advantage would be it's a thicker viscosity. The longrun disadvantage MAY be that by being thicker it would hinder future lubrication attempts when using white spray lithium or atf.

I have a tube of Dow-Corning silicone lube that I bought to use on O-Ring installations, but you're right, it gets used for everything. I even put some on my lips when the wind was chapping at them the other day!

Re: What grease to use on door hinge replacement?

All good to know, I of course jumped the gun and used white lithium grease after talking to the resto garage guy garage that helps me from time to time. I am curious on the silicone paste, and the Lube-Ri-Plate..although that site has tons of products. Rogue, do you use any particular product? Or different ones for different applications?

ROGUE is most likely talking about this ( Lubriplate Mo-Lith No. 2 ) http://www.skygeek.com/lubriplate-m0...ueAaAmAF8P8HAQ
