LOL - 10w40!

use white lithium - Wd40 is actually messier cuz it comes off with water and gets spread around the inside of your door edging. Lithium grease is nice and heavy and won't wash away - and you don't need to use much.

Because white lithium is available at any auto parts store for a buck or two.
