Look for a good garage door lubricant to perform this task. 3-in-One Garage Door Lubricant is a good one.

I agree. I use a white lithium spray-on grease on all of the moving parts of the garage door. Some people mistakenly use the original WD-40 product as a lubricant for everything. But, it should mostly be used as a solvent instead. The WD-40 company now makes a range of spray-on products, one of which is a white lithium grease.
