Default lube it up

no this isn't my usual endorsement for KY warming liquid.

I thought I heard a squeak from my passenger door (I think it was imagined) and decided to figure out a chassis lube interval on my maintanance schedule. This is what I came up with to do every six months (every other oil change I figure)

Silicone spray on the trunk, doors, and hood weatherstripping

Lock-ease on all the lock cylinders (ignition, glove box, trunk, driver's door, locking gas cap)

CLP on the trunk, door, and hood hinges and latches, plus the fuel filler door(after much deliberation and googling, decided on this product over wd40, white lithium etc. - I guess it's the only thing that the US military allows its people to use on their guns)

Maybe I'm just **** IDK. What is everyone else doing, if anything?

Default RE: lube it up

I had a weird little mouse type sqeek. Lubed everything, but that didn't fix it. Come to find out, there is a little rubber stop or some damn thing in behind the driver's door/fender area, that just barely hits the side of the door skin. Lubed it and sqeek gone.
