I'll spray the door hinges etc. with a good penetrating fluid so it seeps and then apply a thick grease like wheel bearing, marine or fifth wheel grease.

White Lithium if no rubber, else Silicone spray.
Wurth or Moly paste(expensive) but amazing products for metal to metal.

I bought some general purpose lithium grease in a tube and it lasts forever on the hinges.
It's not like engine oil or ATF fluid so I have used any kind of grease or spray in the past including WD-40
even though some say it's a cleaner but I love it and use it everywhere

Dripping from my oil change bottles in an old fashioned long spout squeeze bottom metal oil can. Wipe off old and add new drops

It appears that you have to have a business account with Wurth to purchase chemicals. They were once available on Amazon, but they aren't now.
eBay might be an option.

Yes, it does. Well, it stays there but I'm not sure if it's lubricating properties are still in effect. Our son drives my old '99 Accord which hasn't seen a dealer in 10+ years but there's still remnants of lithium grease on the door hinges !

Chain lube.
Boeshield T9 or a dry-film lubricant. Speaking of which, I need to do the doors on my parent's van at the next OCI.

Yes I have seen some cars with OEM stuff that looked like crust all dried up.
Not much lubrication there! I think mine still looks wet after a year. You reminded me to go and touch them see if they are still lubricating ...
My wife reminds me if the doors makes noise though, no touching required
