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.

Mazda 626 L4-2.0L - Serpentine/Drive Belt - San Antonio, Texas

During the work on drive belt, he broke the yellow holder for oils stick. I found broken piece next day, it was easy to see. I guess this was an accident, and he did not notice this, but he should be more careful and not to the rush.

Mazda 626 L4-2.0L - Car is not starting - Houston, Texas

Mr. Ben was the ultimate professional. He arrived early, with a big smile and presented all his certified certificates of all his 39 years of experience as a mechanic. Ben was able to instantly diagnose the real issue on why my car was not starting, just from the sound of trying to crank the car. Even though Ben, was able to identify the issue right away, he still did a thorough check of the entire engine. By Ben checking the engine, it also cancelled out a lot of misdiagnoses, by previous mechanics. Mr. Ben is a very honest mechanic whom will not bullsh@t you lies, to try to take your money… He is the TRUTH!!!

Mazda 626 L4-2.0L - Car is not starting - San Francisco, California

Zachar came right on time and was very nice and professional about the service. He was straightforward, which I appreciate -- not his fault my car was totally busted! Did enough work to diagnose the problem and realize the engine is pretty much unfixable, and then also offered some future help of checking out used cars as I look for them in the near future.
