To whit: WD-40 conclusively blocks the corrosion of this stuff. It is a
terrible lubricant/penetrant, but it seems to sneak under the missed
droplets of coolant, and prevent them from almost instantaneously
corroding my machines.

Water Displacing is what the WD means. IIRC it was developed to displace
overnight condensation in unplugged missile electrical connectors. It works
on wet distributors and spark plug wires, but let the solvent evaporate
first.

I sprayed it on a dirt bike chain and found that it stopped rust for about a
day at most. LPS3 lasted two weeks.
