Default Noisy Door Hinge

My drivers door hinge was very loud and annoying. Of course this is the kind of thing you forget about as soon as you close the door. Today I made a point of addressing this. I WD40'd the upper and lower hinge but the noise was coming from the middle hinge specifically the inner part of the rod that goes into the door. I squirted in there also and the noise I'd been putting off or forgetting about for a long time was fixed. I squirted all the other doors also after this. Simple feel good repair.

Try using something better than WD40. try Gigaloo, or Krown. They will last far longer. I particularly like the Krown stuff. When you spray it, it bubbles and percolates, getting itself in all the little nooks and crannies.
