are you supposed to lube the door hinge?
 
I know that this sounds simple, but I don't see a reference to it in the owners manual or the FSM.

I don't want to lubricate them if they come from the factory that way, I am installing new hinges today.

I know that domestic cars probably get oiled, but I'm not sure what to use on the RX7 if at all:confused:

Thanks

white lithium grease, Dow Corning DC33 (light pink grease), heck, even bearing grease should work...apply to the actual hinge pin swivel area

X dearler tech here, there are a lot of no references in the shop manuals, so does that mean NO ?

hmmmm, no doesn't necessarily mean no, but it could mean what? :D

I also notice that you didn't say yes either? ;)

Does this mean maybe? :p:
