+1 about grease, it just makes the person applying it feel good that something is on the hinge, but nothing goes inside the hinge. I guess on the positive side it will keep the moisture out.

Spray lubes or engine oil squirted at the joints of the hinge, and work it by moving the door. Repeat as necessary.
I do the same with chain lube, spray a bit move the door and I leave it on for a day or two and then wipe the hinge clean to keep dust accumulation to minimum.
