Question What grease / lube for 90K mile svc?

I am only at 82-83K miles and I know there is a service due at 90-92K. "Browsing" through it I noticed alot of the items on there were just "grease this" "lub that" "clean antenea mast"... etc.

Sounds easy.... so go to find out what lube and found 3.4K different answers in the archives , LOL. HELP...

Sunroof - I read to use the Mercedes lub that comes in a tub and costs aout $50 , it has surfactants and glycerin.

Door hinges (front portion) - Wurth called HHS.. rear portion- I imagine white lithium grease is what I see?

SUL-GLYDE from NAPA and / or white silicone grease

lithium grease.

SO what do I use and where? Is that too broad of a question? Like throttle linkage what do you use there?

thanks

I use spray lithium grease on hinges, latches, and throttle linkage.

I'm sure the Wurth stuff is good for hinges (perhaps better), but I lube them often.

The suggested lube for throttle linkages is ATF.

I have doubts about the 'special' sunroof lube. Better contain gold...

So basically lithium on "most" everything that calls for lubing in the service.

I went blank, must be close to Fri 5pm ...atf? is that transmission oil? I think so , no? ...

Sunroof Lube

Some guy sells small tins of sunroof lube on ebay for $5 or $6 a tin. The amount should only last you 10 years, instead of the 200 year supply in the $65 tub at the dealer.
