[s-cars] OT: Was RE: Stiff front door hinges

[Cody Forbes]

This article has been posted here in the past when it was first  
published. Trouble is that the test had nothing to do with parts  
rusted together, nor rotating a bolt. The test was done by measuring  
the force required to push a steel dowel pin through a steel plate  
after lubricating with each test subject.

For this particular application of lubing a door hinge the info is  
good, exept that I wouldn't put the ATF mix anywhere near a painted  
surface ;-).
