Body Lubrication

All moving points of the body, such as

door and hood hinges and locks,

should be lubricated each time the

engine oil is changed. Use a

nonfreezing lubricant on locks during

cold weather.

Make sure the hood's secondary latch

keeps the hood from opening when

the primary latch is released.
