We don't lube them at the dealer, mainly cause to get to the hinge you would have to take down part of the rear upper trim in the car, and unless they are making noise or feel stuck, there is no need to tear things apart. That white lithium grease might be good but I hate it, it makes a big mess everywhere you spray it, expecially on the doors.

I'm using a straw extension; its not that bad; I'm using also a brush whereever is accessible and effective
