Default Doors wont shut (grease)

2005 Pathfinder. My front driver and passenger side doors are very difficult to shut when you push them. Normally you could push them shut with one finger but now they are frozen. Any special way to grease them and what kind?

there's always a reason for something to be binding (rust, sand, lack of lubrication, something bent or poorly aligned, etc)
the solution to the problem depends on the cause of the problem

Should you determine that it's just a case of lubrication use white lithum grease.

Could be bad door checks. Try removing the door check and see how the door opens and closes (you'll have to remove the door panel). If it frees up the movement, it's the door check that's the problem. If not, the hinges are binding.
