My door hinges squeaky like crazy on my car, I spray some wd 40, it quiet for a week and it back again, anything I can spray that last a very long time. like 5 month + or more ^ ^ thanks.
 
On my 88 dodge aries I used some petroleum jelly :P Lol.

I dab a little bit on a rag, then used an air tool extension I had, to reach down in the door jamb to smear it around and in the "crack" of the hinge.....open and close the door a couple times and the squeak will be gone :P


Only bad thing is now, a little gust of wind, and the door blows SHUT.....lol. Or, more commonly, if I'm parked on an incline *(my driveway) it sometimes comes back at me. Almost caught my leg a couple times already

Your "door check" should prevent the door from coming back at you.

WD-40 has its uses, but its mostly a carrier (solvent) and a little light oil.

Actually almost any thickish kind of grease should work well. I have used the Amsoil metal protector spray that says its for door hinges with good success.
 
Motorcycle chain lube sprays on very runny with lots of solvents.
These solvents evaporate quickly to leave a heavy grease/oil behind.
It gets into cracks,pins, crevices, and chains very well.

Mine is chain lube, not motorcycle chain lube specifically. I like it because it goes on very thin and bubbly, getting into all the cracks and crevices, then turns greasy when the propellant/carrier evaporates.

Bingo. Good stuff. Any motorcycle store will have it. Comes in a spray can and is a bit pricey, but a can will last a long time.
