What is recommended to lube the hinges where the bushings and pins go? I have white lithium grease and regular grease. Or something else? TIA
Only the upper hinges have bushings. These are in fact called "Oilite" bushings. They absorb the lubricant and self lubricate thereafter. Hopefully you didn't drill out the lower hinges for the "bushing/pin kits" sold in baggies with no instructions. The factory never intended for the hinges to be rebuilt. They would not use a brass bushing on the lower hinge anyway.
Avoid greases as they only attract dirt to the hinges accelerating wear.
I use "Teflon" based lubes.
Dry types are the best.
The first part usually to fail is the door check rollers freezing up on the lower hinges. Mainly because of using greases that clog the rollers with dirt.
The Factory Service Manual will tell you to use a few drops of motor oil to lubricate the door hinge contact points.
Of course they didn't have the lubricants available that we now have 50 years later.
If you have any other door hinge questions, please contact me. Door hinges are my specialty.

That is good oil for an electric motor. I use a long hypodermic needle with Teflon when I lube my rebuilt hinges at assembly. It is easier to control where it goes and does not waste materials.
