How to lubricate car Door Hinges and Joints

[@JoJoFlare]

Contemplated skipping but i found the broken English and explanations quite calming so i stayed

[@bradleymiller437]

I used to believe in broken English but then I realized; I only speak one language and these people speak at least two. There’s no such thing as broken English to me anymore. Crazy intelligent people. I love them.

Thanks 👍

[@ricardojohnsonthon7547]

Thanks Peter. Another good video!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks

[@2thepoint325]

I need to fix my car door, but I can't find a big scale!

[@jw200]

Nice vid but door and other hinges and joints must be lubed periodically not when issues arise.
Its called preventative maintenance.

[@coolissimo69]

and by the way do you know how to adjust the strength of the door closing down with out banguing?

[@ditr257]

Excellent scientific test Peter!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes. ;-)

[@TheSoniabravo]

[@huzayfabham240]

[@mckav2358]

Thanks for this
Very helpful ::))

[@Reddylion]

Good video.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks. Good feedback. :-)

[@AudiophileTubes]

Should I use Greek or Italian extra virgin olive oil as a lubricant?

[@thetechlibrarian]

Greek

[@miguelteixeira7589]

You Must use olive oil from sardine can . Is the best !!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Both works. Also German. 👍

[@neilreid2298]

Perfect- exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Glad it was helpful!

[@coolissimo69]

Thanks Peter, must do it to my doors, by the way do you know how to adjust the strength of the door closing down with slamming?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi, it is more complex job.

[@robertoruiz7069]

Hi Peter,good video.In America the car makers design the hinges to do that on purpose.Then they say it is so because they want the customer to get more exercise,by making it harder to open the door.When the door rusted closed ,that means you must walk more to exorcise your legs.AS Americans are very lazy. ha ha

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Great feedback. :-) And Thank You.

[@icarrrv]

roberto ruiz Ireland here is turning out to be the same, except here people don't care about their cars, nor can they drive but that's another story

[@AudiophileTubes]

I use lithium? while grease in a spray can.

[@icarrrv]

Nice job👍

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thank You

[@1marcelfilms]

Dont oil the door holder. It works better at holding the door open when there isnt oil. 9:05

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks for comment 😀👍

[@FlaschDJ]

Excellent, quality video. Thank you.
Can you please specify the names of the greases and lubricants you used? Thank you again.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Let me check

[@sorro_tek9599]

we still waitin

[@randomrandom5740]

Have you checked? 🤣

[@FlaschDJ]

@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor I’m an old man. Don’t take too much longer!

[@MLMACCANA]

White grease would be perfect for this

[@abdulnajeebmohammad3847]

Why can't be a simple thing, just take a oil and apply some to the hinges and joints. Why all that show about force measurements and all that.

[@MrAtis472]

To display measurable results Abdul. Deductive approach is fine, but this is real proof. You can’t feel the changes on his car door. I think that’s why. Good idea imo.

[@dejanspasic4405]

Omg you are crazy man 3.5 kg but be positive

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

I try

[@GregoryHouseMD1]

cant we use wd 40?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes

[@jacobhauenstein]

no. wd40 is not a lubricant. it is good for loosening stuck bolts but wont help here

[@Kavie93]

@@jacobhauenstein it helps, just not for long.

[@OpaKnows]

What the deuce...

[@sierraecho884]

Never use any of that crap oil always use dry lubricant only. Otherwise all sorts of dust will set in and damage your hinges over time, you want it to work smooth and keep the dirt out. You can clean it with WD-40 first, then wipe that stuff off and use PTFE spray. Use the same spray for the car locks, never use oil base lubricants in those or you will damage them over time.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks for comment and noted 👍😀

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Graphite spray works better

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

👍😃😃

[@jackywalls6471]

[@luispadilla3411]

What?????

[@paulff3]

You make big Russian mess.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

No... I am repairing the car

[@FlaschDJ]

One: Presenter did NOT make a mess. In fact, he included a section on cleanup. Two: The video was FREE, thereby indemnifying the presenter from cheap, (xenophobic?) jokes. Third, Many Americans were born to ancestors who immigrated before mastering English. Cut him a break. Yet, the accent did necessitate extra concentration but the information was first-class.

[@richphero106]

I’ll grab WD-40

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

You're welcome!👍😃

[@MeBallerman]

Don't use WD40. It's a cleansing solvent, also rust protection, but not a lubricant. WD40 evaporates.
However - use WD40 to clean the hinges - let evaporate - then oil/grease.

[@Kavie93]

@@MeBallerman they have lubricant gel spray. They also have the word lubricant on the bottle lol while it might not be as good as actual grease it works for a bit

[@matthewlaw2939]

Awful
