Default Best lubricant for interior steel hinges?

As the subject. All my doors squeak and squeal as though they are
auditioning for a Hammer horror movie. I have lubricated them with
various greases and oils, to no avail. In a very short time they are off
protesting again! Si any ideas as to the best, reasonably long lasting
solution please?


Are you sure it's the metal on metal which is squeaking? I had a garden
gate which squeaked despite oiling the hinges many times. I eventually
worked out it was wood on wood or wood on metal (nails) which was making
the noise. I gave up trying to solve it as it was outside and only very
infrequently an issue.
