I don't care what anyone says, it's still not a lubricant. It is good
for first-pass cleaning of greasy parts, or displacing water from
distributor caps. It is not a good lubricant.


You made 2 statements. I would have agreed with the first, "it's not
a lubricant", a few years ago. WD-40 even had on their label "This
is not a lubricant" But now their label says "Lubricates. . .
hinges, wheels, rollers, chains, gears"

So either they changed their definition of lubricates-- ...

From their own web site in something they put up as opposed to supplied
"uses" -- "WD-40's lubricating ingredients are widely dispersed..."

What they changed was their advertising...


You other statement "It is not a good lubricant" might be true--

More than "might" -- it is true. Works for a little while while it's
still wet, but as the product statement above notes, there ain't much
lubrication value in it...
