I'm about to take the door card off and remove the door lock / latch module from the car in order to clean it out and re-lubricate everything as I've been unable to get in from the drivers door (and sometimes passenger) now that temps are nice and cold here in eastern canada.

What kind of lubricant do you guys suggest to use? I see white lithium grease mentioned on forums but what about fluid film or similar? It would keep the moisture / water off everything and keep away any corrosion. Seems like a light enough lubricant to not get too thick when temps get to -20c overnight.

Any info regarding this topic is greatly appreciated!
