Default WD40 or 3-in-one: which is better

Maybe by now they have got it about right?



Not as a lubricant, they haven't. Or at least, not when I last used it
as one a few years ago.


For a short term lubricant it's good, because it gets in quick, but long
term especially somewhere warm it can be worse than useless by washing
away the last trace of proper oil.

It is good for removing label glue, but no better than paraffin - I keep
a bottle of "lamp oil" which even takes label glue off (shiny) book
covers without marking them.
