Lithium Spray Grease ?
I use it all the time now, instead of WD40 on some items

As mentioned,
I have been using Spray lithium gease for a little while and got sick if spraying it everywhere,
I figured, I could use a old WD40 top so I can use the spray head, and the straw to direct where I need to,
So I modified the old WD40 top and the end result below

Not at the local ALDI, where I have shopped once only in the past. Ask, and you shall receive a blank look.

How it all came about,
The Drivers Door Lock on the Adventra was getting a bit stiff, as something was wrong with it,
and the external handle didn't seem to be opening the door correctly,
It sort of felt like it was Half Unlocking the Door when I press the unlock on the Key Head,
and being I didn't want to force it, as I would possibly break the colour coded handle, then need to replace & paint it,
So, I went to Supercheap to get some Lithium spray, as I read it's the best for door locks,
I purchased the Supercheap brand, as it was on special,
Headed home and pulled the door down,
removed the lock mechanism,
Cleaned it up with degreaser, wash it down with water,
Dried it off with compressed air,
then gave the moving parts a spray, but it went everywhere,
So, I figured, WD40 has a good spray straw, and I had an empty can that I was going to be thrown out,
I then checked to see if it would fit,
Nope, no go,

The outlet on the Lithium spray can is a little bigger,
so, I hand reamed the underside of the spray head out with a drill bit, a little bit at a time,
and finally, it fitted,
the rest is history
