Default Door hitch squeak (A6 Quattro)

Recently, the suqeak noise come out when the front door open or close.

Does anyone know which kind of lubricant spread apply to eliminate the noise?

You can use any lubricant (WD-40, silicon spray, etc), but the best, long-term solution is a small dab of axle grease to the hinge. The thinner oil-based sprays will work, but only for a few months.

Default White lithium grease works better than wd40 as a lubricant

at least thats my experience. I feel as if wd40 is more of a "cleaner" or solvent...you can maybe use the wd40 to clean it first than use the white lithium.
