Console-mounted PRNDL assemblies require lubrication to dampen noise and enhance the perception and quality of plastic parts. Nye’s synthetic lubricants enable the mechanism to slide smoothly between notches, while imparting a quality feel to the thumb-activated release mechanism. They withstand the cold and offer vibration and noise reduction.

The visor’s two rotating parts stay at rest for long periods - a difficult duty for grease, which tends to get squeezed out of the surfaces that are in contact. Additionally, due to the visor’s location, lubricants cannot leak oil or emit odor. A heavy-viscosity synthetic hydrocarbon grease is recommended, enabling the visor to remain in place for extended periods, yet move smoothly when activated.

Volume controls, temperature control dials, and even the thumb wheel used to dim dashboard lighting, all benefit from damping greases. Damping lubricants will extend application life and convey a quality feel to hand-operated devices.

Sunroof systems are controlled by a motor and cable. Unlike window regulators, these components are often not exposed to the elements. A transparent synthetic grease with low oil separation that resists water, withstands temperatures of -40 °C, and offers vibration and noise reduction is recommended.

Climate control systems rely upon a series of motorized vents to re-route airflow for driver and passenger comfort. A synthetic lubricant for this application should be engineered specifically to work with plastic gears and be virtually odor free. It should also offer stability at low temperatures.
