It sprays in (with a straw) as a thin liquid, then "Gels" into a much thicker, almost grease like consistency... so it stays put. its also made to not attract grit/dirt(not sticky).. and it doesnt wash off as easily as oil. downside is.. its not cheap. other stuff i use is called Gunzilla... its a plant based dry lubricant spray. it also has some odd properties thats great for hinges and lasts longer then most light oils (WD40, motor oil, 3-in-1, etc) Last edited by MrDude_1; 02-02-2011 at 05:53 PM.

Re: Hood Hinge Lube ? oil?
I think I used motorcycle chain lube on mine as well. Seems to work good!
