I have used Lithium white grease. Not this brand but it is good stuff. Sticks well.

White lithium grease from any auto parts store for the hinges. For the locks I always use graphite/lock oil from the hardware store.

that sounds just like the Max-Tuff Assembly Lube from Royal Purple. Im just wondering is it the same thing ?

I can get RP products cheap (a friend's connection) so I wanna stay with RP, which one you think will work to lube the door hinges ? (I can get the door lock oil thing from hardware store)

Cool, I was just joking attempting to get that comment out of the way in case it would be made later. I use synthetic myself, and am interested in this topic.

Thanks!
