WD40 decreases friction between two metal pieces. The oil adds lubrication that does not dry on contact or with heat, which can build up in machinery. Other than dirt or piece of rust, little else can gum up WD40 so it provides lubrication for months to years.

How do you fix a hood latch when the hood won't lock into place?

Things to check, is the release all the way in? Lubricate the lock, WD40 or similar. Adjust the lock up if needed. After you lubricate the lock mechanism, cycle the hood release cable a few times, so that the lubricant penetrates. Continue to lubricate the mechanism at least once every few months to prevent future sticking of the cable.
