I'm almost certain that you've missed the problem, if your car is doing what mine was.

Oiling the hinges is great and all, but what you need to put the WD40/whatever on is the metal part that holds the door open at certain positions. It's an extra metal part that sticks out and keeps the door from free-swinging. You know, when you open the door, it "sticks" like it's in a groove at about half open, and then just slightly before completely open.

It's that part that needs oiling. My passenger side door was making a creaking noise I thought was from the hinges, but spraying them didn't help. I played with the door for a little while longer and discovered that it only made noise when the "holder" part made contact with the door. I sprayed it and it's silent now!

Let me know if my advice helps.
