I use the silicone oil but it only makes it go away for a short time.

DO NOT use WD40. It will eat the bushings!

Same squeaks here, used wd-40 for awhile until I was informed of the bushing issue. I now use Yamaha silicone protectant & lubricant, $8.50 for a 11 oz. spray can. Works great, squeaks haven't returned yet, about 20 hours time. Any silicone lubricant will work for you. Good luck.
