What do I use to lubricate Ignition key slot?

Key was difficult to insert, truck only has 3,500 miles.
wd-40? silicone? graphite?
Thanks

 

ive used teflon dry lubricants and my locksmith says thats better than the 3 you mentioned.

 

Thanks, I figured there was something better

 

I have no adult thing to advise here but second post is your bet

 

This ^^^^

 

Fluid film!! Just a touch on the key. Put it in and out a few times. Thats what she said.

 

Let the Dealer do it that way any problems they can replace the Ignition for free and no voiding any warranty

 

Do NOT use fluid film on the ignition. It will attract all kinds of trash and ruin the lock cylinder.

 

Definetily dont want trash to be stuck to your cylinder.

 

Did you try your other key?

 

Lube your key wtf ... never had to lube a key . Maybe your not inserting correctly lol

 

We use dry lubes on our locks at work, seems to work pretty well.

 

My keys stay in my pocket like a civilized Tacoma owner; but when I insert them into things, they just go in raw.

Actually a little spray silicone works pretty well for not gumming up and attracting debris. I use that on my motorcycle ignition key when it starts to get difficult.

 

In all seriousness i think a graphite based lube is prefered in this situation

 

Maybe your key is bent awkwardly and it isn't hitting the inside right...

 

true dat!!

whatever U use only a light spritz on key will do

U want to avoid heavy dose....................will only attract skin....dirt....dust
long run =gum the innards up

id ask a locksmith b4 i trust a hairy palm dealer dude

 

Ask 10 people a question get 10 different answers. Ask a question on a forum and get even more answers. The forum is just a bunch of people . No answer is a guarantee. Its kind of like the magic 8 ball.

 

Clean the key with some alcohol.

 

I use powdered graphite.
