2007 Chevy Impala 1LT V6 E85 Flex Fuel engine Auto transmission 19,200 miles All scheduled maintenance performed on time to date. PROBLEM: Since weather turned truly cold in recent days, the gas pedal has begun to squeak/creak when depressed. I’m assuming the pedal merely needs lubrication. 1) What is the best lubricating product to use to fix the squeaky creak that won’t make a mess and stain the carpeting? 2) Typically, where on the pedal assembly should lubricant be applied? Thank you. Marnet …still reading, still learning… ---

An aerosol silicone spray can be used. Look up under the dash for the pivot point for the gas pedal and give it a shot of the silicone spray. Tester ---

Before you spray, be sure to cover the carpeting with as much newspaper as possible to collect the inevitable overspray. Be especially careful to wrap the brake pedal with newspaper, and secure it with a few pieces of masking tape. Trust me–you DON’T want even a trace of silicone spray on the brake pedal!!
