Question 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

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?

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

Does this mean maybe?
