What is lubricating the hood hinge all about?

The hood of a vehicle is a movable panel that covers the engine. Hinges hold the hood to the rest of the vehicle. When the hood closes, the hinges ensure that the hood latches properly in the same position each time.

Keep in mind:

  • If the hood is not latching properly or the hood no longer lines up with the position of the latch, lubrication will not sufficiently fix the problem.
  • Lubricating the hinges of the hood will make operation smoother and quieter, but will not fix any issues with the hinge’s location or physical damage.

How it's done:

  • Apply grease to the hood hinge

Our recommendation:

Any issue with the hood or hood hinges should be addressed immediately to ensure proper operation and to prevent expensive repairs in the future. By the time the lubricant or grease has worn out on the hood hinge to the point of needing replacement, it is likely that other moving points on the outside of the vehicle have suffered similar wear and tear. Inspect the latch mechanism of the hood, the hinges on the doors, and the hinges holding the trunk lid to the vehicle to assess if they could use lubrication as well. Excess friction in hinges causes them to wear out prematurely and can cause real issues down the road.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to lubricate the hood hinge?

  • Difficulty opening or closing the hood
  • Squeaking noise when the hood is opened or closed
  • Multiple attempts required to properly close the hood
  • Hood gets stuck when opening or closing

How important is this service?

This service is moderately important and is mostly done as preventative maintenance. In extreme situations, jammed or seized hood hinges can prevent access to the engine compartment. If the issue is with the latching mechanism of the hood, then the service is more crucial. If the hood does not latch properly, there is a chance that it could open while the vehicle is in motion.

Chevrolet Silverado 3500 V8-6.6L Turbo Diesel - Oil Change - Nuevo, California
Jay is very good and has been doing this for a long time. But what makes him so different is he has integrity. Twice now, he has passed on doing a job because it did not need to be done. Most mechanics and for sure dealerships would have turned a blind eye and did the job. Example-With my last job, my brakes start making what I thought was a worn-out pad. My truck had 127K on it, and the brakes pads have never been done. Who knew you could get 200K out of a set of brake pads. Anyway, I had already purchased the pads and had them waiting for Jay. After inspecting all four brakes, he called me. He explained he could do the job, but the pads are only about 60% worn, and I should be able to make 200K. Of course, I passed on the brake job and just paid Jay for the inspection time. I wish other mechanics were this honest. Honesty will keep the customer coming back, and that is why Jay is my goto mechanic.
