squeaky door hinge?
what's the best solution to get rid of the noise?
My dealership gave it a try, but was unsuccesful.
I'm thinking something like a dry lubricant would be best because a wet lubricant will only attract dirt and grime.

I use motorcycle chain lube in a spray can for exterior hinges. ...
the lube comes out of the can with a solvent, to penetrate thoroughly, then the solvent evaporates leaving a thick film with a lot of resistance against wash out. After soaking the hinge well, operate the door back and forth to work the lube into the hinge, then wipe off the excess over-spray.

Well, you can use WD-40
To prep and clean the surface before you re-grease it.
Go to AutoZone or a place like that and get chain lube, like diagnosticator1 said.

i fixed mine last week.. Jig-A-Loo FTW!
it was like $6 bucks for a large can at pep-boys..
the hinge that was squeaking for me was the roller hinge toward the bottom of the door (the one that keeps the door in set stages of open so it doesn't freely fling).
