The message

WD 40


Says here not to use WD40.

Not surprised - it isn't a very good lubricant and was never
designed as one.



There was a lomg thread about this less than a year ago.

But don't these manufacturers keep changing the formulation of their
oils such that WD40 could be very different now.

One thread from 1998 found that WD40 was actually classified as a
solvent back then.

But maybe it is now more than a water displacer and even does a job
of lubing?
