Use regular 30 wt oil, but when the same had to me it took a couple years
before it finally really freed up. Been fine the last 16 years.

Subject: [T3] Creaking door hinge
I'm having trouble getting oil in the upper door hinge to stop
creaking. I never did understand how the oil is supposed to migrate
from the top "recessed" lube point, down into the middle moving area.
I'm getting desperate, so I drilled an 1/8" hole in the middle section
(not the pin, that must be hardened). But still can't seem to get
anything in there with grease gun, WD-40 pressurized bottle, etc. Any
ideas short of pressing out the pin?
