I am forever lubricating my hinges, however it does not last long. what
is the best lubricant for a long term effect please?

Engine oil on standard hinges (nick a drop off the end of
the dip stick if you haven't got a container of it handy,
but don't drip it on the carpet).

Rising butts want grease.

WD40 is great for cleaning off old oil/grease/dirt, but
useless for lubrication.
