Proper way to drill through metal?

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I need to drill very many small holes (1/4 inch wide) through the metal of a shipping container the kind that are loaded on ships and on the back of trucks.  The wall thickness is aprox. 3/16th of an inch thick. Problem: I am going through drill bits at a very high rate. I am getting only 12 holes drilled before the drill bit is worn out and I have to keep replacing with new bits.  Am I doing something wrong ?  Please tell me if there is some way to extend the life of the bit.   Using WD-40 ?  Some other oil ?

thank you
