hood squeaks

Hi, when i open my hood, there is a squeaking sound. not sure what's it called, but i think it might be the hydraulic opener thing. was wonder what i can use to lubricate it.

thanks

Try WD40. I don't think they're that expensive to replace.

I would suggest to put teflon based lubricant (grease). A very thing coating, else it will attract grime and make the things worse.
