I use WD-40 to loosen and lube old things........but more where I want something really thin. My 'normal' is spray synthetic grease. and for super heavy duty spray grease, like for keeping CV joints lubed when there's hole in the CV boot- I use motorcycle chain lube..... but that's pretty heavy sticky stuff. Prolong .....is another of my favorite synthetic penetrating spray greases. Love that one. lube everything that moves. ! lol, Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Whittaker" <rogerwhitt1@GMAIL.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 12:49 PM Subject: Re: [WetWesties] Sliding door doesn't
