Just order a new key from the dealer with your VIN. Cheap, and you'll be
sure that it's the right key
Isn't it interesting that Dan and I can disagree?
I said I was advised to use oil.
He said one should never use oil.
Neither one of us called the other any inappropriate names etc.
Quite civilized.

You omitted your candid assessment of the Manotaba political establishment,

NEVER, EVER put oil in a lock. You will make a mess of it for sure. Get a
tube of graphite from your local hardware store, or rub a pencil lead all over
the key (powered graphite works
What would you use to clean it out? carb cleaner or something that will

When I worked for the school district I spoke to one of our staff locksmiths
(yes, the place was so big they had two locksmiths on staff full time.) I

crevices. General consensus is that if you need lubricant to help

How about Dri-Slide which has carrier that evaporates and graphite?
We used to use it repairing Schwinn bikes - used it for brake and

I have had great success with a product called TriFlo. It is a mixture of
teflon particles and a liquid carrier agent in a spray can, the liquid
