Question:
I have a mini van and the sliding door will not open unless I climb in and put all my body weight on it. It has been below freezing here and I think that is why. BUT, even after warming up the car for 20 min and driving it for about 30 more, it still doenst want to open. What do you think is the problem and can I use cooking spray?

would putting big tires and rims?
Stay away from the cooking spray. It is formulated to help anything but it will freeze as well. Make the prob even bigger. Sounds like a typ prob with doors. Heating up the van is not going to help because the doors have metal on the outside which causes the constant cold. Driving it around for about an hour and then feel the door immediately. You will see that it is still cold. Take it to the dealer or repair shop. Sometimes all that it needs is a little extra greasing.IM SURE COOKING SPRAY WOULD BE A QUICK FIX IN PLACE OF WD-40. YOU COULD ALSO USE A LITTLE DISH WASHING LIQUID.

Cooking spray will deteriorate and go rancid. You don't want to be reminded of it in the summer. WD40 is just an emergency oil. It evaporates rapidly so will be all gone in a few days.Land Rover has sputtering engine - what are likely problems?
At the end of the day when there is no frost you should spray WD40 to displace the water. Then put oil on parts that rotate and grease on parts that slide.
The manual will probably tell you the maintenance points to lubricate.

I wouldn't use cooking oil instead of WD-40 not a good idea at all.Its cheap enough to buy anyways. You might need white grease on sliding doors and door hinges, but for that problem i would take the car to a repair shop or dealer.P0420 on Honda Accord 2000 EX 4dr?
I have heard of peanut butter as wheel bearing grease but not this. In a pinch, it might work but better go and get some silicon lubricant. It will not freeze or drip off.My car's heater is broken, what could be wrong?
Yeah, I'd avoid the cooking spray, but if you have some mineral oil, that might do the trick, or even if you have some extra engine oil, I think that would be better.Nissan LDV 2.5 diesel engine running on Sunflower OIL?
