What is the recommended maintenance for lubricating hinges and lock assemblies on a Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe?

To ensure smooth operation, it is recommended to lubricate the Door Hinge, Door Lock, Hood Hinge, Hood Latch, and Trunk Lid Latch of the vehicle as part of regular maintenance. Applying light oil or lock lubricant every 3000 miles or every three months helps prevent rust and corrosion while promoting proper functioning. Additionally, greasing the door latch strikers reduces wear and allows for unrestricted movement. Door and trunk locks should be lubricated with a spray-on graphite lubricant to prevent sticking or seizing. Following these lubrication procedures contributes to the longevity and reliability of the vehicle's mechanisms.
