What should be used to lubricate a garage door spring?

Tracks look good. I'll hit all the rollers and hinges with some white lithium too and see how that does. My opened is old too so maybe it isn't doing well.

Silicone spray.

I use a dry graphite spray works great spray once a year ish

It pays to check the spring occasionally, I didn't and the garage door opener burned out and I had to replace a broken spring and garage door opener.
It is a double garage door and the guy that replaced the spring said the door was having metal fatigue and he put a brace in that area. I looked and sure enough, there was a metal crack.

The Blaster stuff is what my local Garage door guy recommended to extend spring life. Also, I replaced the original metal rollers with a set with nylon wheels and decent bearings, which REALLY helped quiet things down.
P.S. Springs are ridiculously expensive.
