Q: How often should the hinges and latch assemblies on doors, hood, and trunk be lubricated on Honda Fit?
A: Every 3000 kilometres, for example, or each three months, a few drops of light oil or lock lubricant should be applied to the hinges and latch assemblies of the doors, the Hood, the trunk. Furthermore, the door strike plates likewise require slight application of grease on their latching component to reduced friction and other wearing down processes. It is also important to spray a graphite lubricant on the door and trunk lock to minimise their wear.
