Lubricating your Garage Door and Opener

Let's talk about lubricating of your garage door and opener components. I won't get into the proper lubricant for the job since there is always a debate of what is the best. Though can we agree that bearing/packing grease is not to be used? When I come across doors that have been attacked by bearing grease I always look at the customers vehicle to see if a goop of grease has splatted on their vehicle. 

That said, it is ideal to lubricate your garage every 6 months and more often in dusty/dirt conditions. In these conditions a good rule of thumb is every time you change your air filter.
Lubricate hinges, rollers, end bearings, springs, center bushing, jambs, and opener rail. When lubricating your opener be very careful not to saturate. I've had customers fry their logic board due to over lubricating. During your lubricating inspect all your components for wear and tear.
