If possible while going for the oil change, make it a point to use a few drops of light oil or lock lubricant on the hinges and latch assemblies on the doors, hood, and tailgate every 3000 miles or every three months.

It is also recommended that the door including the tailgate locks be lubricated with spray on graphite lubricant.

Remove the door trim panel and peel back the plastic water shield. Next, take out the latch retaining screws from the end of the door, then reach inside to release the latch from the control rods, noting that the latch retaining screws also secure the outside handle lock cylinder. For models with power door locks, disconnect the electrical connector, then detach the door latch and, if equipped, the door lock solenoid. Installation follows the reverse order of removal. To address the lock cylinder, detach the electrical connector if equipped, then remove the access plug at the end of the door and take out the Torx screw, which allows the lock cylinder to be angled out while pulling the handle. Use a screwdriver to disengage the lock rod and remove the lock cylinder. With the lock cylinder removed, pull the outside handle outwards, slide it to the rear, and disengage it from the door. For the inside handle, remove the door trim panel, release the control rod guide clip, and take out the retaining screws. Disconnect the control rod from the rear of the inside handle, pull the handle free from the door panel, and then installation is the reverse of removal.
