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.

Acura RSX L4-2.0L - Check Engine Light is on - San Jose, California

Khoa contacted me earlier to see if he could come out earlier to my appointment which was great! I had two of the low beam bulbs so he deducted that from my cost. Khoa worked through the two tasks quick in a hour and was able to explain the diagnosis and answer my questions.

Acura RSX L4-2.0L - Fan speed control is not working - Tustin, California

Manuel is so knowledgeable. He knows what he is doing and knows exactly what to do. My air conditioner was not blowing any air whatsoever. I thought it might have been a blown fuss but he knew exactly what to to check for. He found the problem in like 10 minutes. He is that good in diagnosing problems. He fixed my car that same day. He ordered the parts, came back in an hour, did the repairs, and the rest is history! Super professional, no fuss, just a great mechanic. I would highly recommend him for any jobs. He can do it all.
