I think the Bentley recommends motor oil in the hinge reservoirs, so that's what I have been using.  My doors are quiet now, but I know it took some time for the creaking to stop in the hinges of my old '70 after a dose of motor oil in the hinge reservoir.  Do you have the little plugs that go over the holes?
