My doors are squeaking!

[A/V1]

My doors, primarily the driver's door, are starting to squeak pretty bad. My problem is I can't remember what lube to use. Graphite, white lithium, or another type of grease. I've tried the wonderful search function, with no results. I've also looked in the owner's manual, and even looked up what I could from techinfo.toyota.com

I know it's not rocket science. If I remember correctly, a shot of graphite should take care of the key locks, and a couple shots of white lithium grease should take care of the door hinges.

Right?

Right. A heavy duty silicone spray can be used too. It will need to be applied more often than grease but will not gunk up either

White lithium grease is what I've always used to lube door hinges. I use silicone spray on the rubber door seals. I use graphite in the lock cylinders.

WD-40 is your friend! I use it on everything including the locks in the winter. I always have some sitting around. White Lightning is longer lasting but I usually don't have any.

I have better experience with others lubricants than WD-40. While WD-40 does it job it does it adequately.

For door and hinges I really like the Blaster Dry Lube. You can find it at the Home Depot.
Plus it also work on plastic... which is a nice addition
