Ray,

A Teflon-based grease is ideal and is usually found in model shops in small
quantities.

You can use automotive greases like SM.

Yes.

> Can I put grease in there without taking it apart?

No. It's far better to strip the hinge completely, clean off all the old
grease and dirt and have a solution that will last for years.

Joel.
