It is recommended to use the specialized HOTO-LUBE door hinge and slide grease from 4S maintenance shops. Here are the relevant details: 1. Do not use Vaseline, engine oil, or vegetable oil for hinge lubrication. These lubricants are liquid-based and only provide temporary relief, becoming ineffective after a few rains. 2. Industrial engine oil emits harmful odors, which are detrimental to health. Ordinary grease has poor low-temperature resistance and may freeze in winter. Additional information: 1. The function of door hinges is similar to that of regular hinges, both used to connect two objects. 2. Common connection methods for door hinges mainly include bolt connection, welded connection, and welded + bolt connection.
