The lower pivot will also create a creaking noise. The upper pivot has a sound that will sound like a saddle rail creaking whereas the lower pivot axle will make a slightly different and deeper creaking sound. I usually end up lubricating both axles every few months, otherwise you end up going back and forth between the axles, chasing creaks. It's the cost of doing business....I didn’t notice a difference, it had felt good but I was hearing a creak that I thought was coming from one of the pivots. After greasing everything but the main pivot, I think the noise is actually coming from the derailleur cable housing (between the front and rear triangle) rubbing on the frame.
