Some type of graphite, or silicone. Something like that so it won't freeze & clump up when it gets collld outside.

Re: Door hinge lube

i have found that white lithium grease (in a spray can) is good for hinges , linkage , rollers , window linkage & tracks , etc. . i used some today on my hood hinges (CRC brand) . good luck .
