WD-40 is NOT a lubricant! That's an urban myth and totally wrong. Just
the opposite, it removes all oil, grease, water, etc. from wherever it's
used. Look it up.

What does WD-40 do?WD-40 fulfills five basic functions:
1. CLEANS: WD-40 gets under dirt, grime and grease to clean. It also
dissolves adhesives, allowing easy removal of labels, tape and excess
bonding material.
2. DISPLACES MOISTU Because WD-40 displaces moisture, it quickly dries
out electrical systems to eliminate moisture-induced short circuits.
3. PENETRATES: WD-40 loosens rust-to-metal bonds and frees stuck, frozen or
rusted metal parts.
4. LUBRICATES: WD-40's lubricating ingredients are widely dispersed and
tenaciously held to all moving parts.
5. PROTECTS: WD-40 protects metal surfaces with corrosion-resistant
ingredients to shield against moisture and other corrosive elements.

What does WD-40 contain?
While the ingredients in WD-40 are secret, we can tell you what WD-40 does
NOT contain. WD-40 does not contain silicone, kerosene, water, wax,
graphite, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), or any known cancer-causing agents.
