While I like your attempt to save your door handles from breakage, I don't think it's really going to stop it from breaking.
I understand thats it's the plastic parts internally that will fail and your lubrication it not going to stop it. It's probably the number of times the door is used (opened and closed) that will determine how fast it will break, although it's been reported low mileage cars break too. However, it does seem that the drivers side fails more often first than the passenger door leads you to think again it's the usage.
