VATS/Pass Key II Ignition cylinder lubrication

[5speedz34]

Can these be lubricated?

 

I found this link.

I think Skylarks got Pass Key II in 96?

Yes, they got PK2.

 

Anyways, I had a similar issue happen with my Acura. Some liquid wrench sprayed into the ignition cylinder, and turning the key a few dozen times did the trick.

Mine isn't stuck; its maybe two "stiff" for me. Who knows maybe this is how it should be?

 

Two questions:

 

1. Should I lube the ignition cylinder since there are contacts inside of it for the resistor?

2. Should I use graphite or silicone lubricant?

3. My service manual mentions nothing of this.

If it don't need fixin, don't bother with it.

Well its not broken, but its stiff.

 

I'm just asking if I should lube it?

I'd say just squirt some Z4 up there. What's it gonna hurt?

I don't want to destroy a non-broken lock cylinder that is probably expensive. What the hell is Z4?

 

Feel free to quote that, I was typing that and was like this is going to get sigged.
