As jrbaconcheese said, penetrating oil is likely a solvent, designed to clean stuck joints rather than add lubricant. The greases are pretty good, however it may be difficult to work it into the hinge without disassembling it. PTFE sprays come with the nozzle though and are very thin liquids, so you might have better luck getting them in just by aiming in the gaps and working the hinge.
