VATS/Pass Key II Ignition cylinder lubrication

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.

Well its not broken, but its stiff.

 

I'm just asking if I should lube it?

 

............................. I won't sig quote this, but it's just CRYING to be quoted.

 

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.
