No idea mate.

Vaseline is just too thin and will just melt to liquid with heat.

Don't ask how I know.

Get some real grease, any multipurpose grease will do by comma or castrol. You will get you're use out off it eventually.

Vaseline is to poor in any heat exposure, even using it in a door hing it will liquify on a hot day, avoid!
