Default Lubricate with regular oil or WD-40

I've googled this topic and there is two opinions out there. Some
say use regular oil because it last longer, others say use wd-40
because it does not collect dust, which will gum up and create
problems. Any ideas which is better?


3-In-One Oil works for most household oiling from the
furnace blower, sewing machine, hinges, toys and just
about anything that needs a drop of oil. WD-40 comes
from the same company but it was developed for a
different purpose. The inventor tried a number of
formulas before he came up with "Water Displacement
formula number 40" hence it's name. Take the cap off
a can of WD-40 spray enough in the cap to fill it to
depth of about 1/8 inch then put a drop of water in
it, the reaction is quite interesting. Different items
like chain drives need a different type of lubricant.
