No no, mine freunde – Molybdenum disulfide is your friend – I use a product called Dri-Slide, it came out during the Vietnam Conflict and the GIs swore by it – kept the M16s working when no other lubricant would. http://www.drislide.com
WD-40 has acid in it, NOT suitable for precision mechanical movements. And the residue is a bitch. Ask me how I know.
I sent Dri-slide to some buddies in the Army Infantry during Vienam, they couldn’t get enough of it!!
WD-40 is for Water Displacement only.
It leaves behind a wax coating to keep the water off.
It is not a lubricant – never intended to be.
The wax coating will trap any grit and ruin your gadget.
Came here to say this also. I used to use WD-40 as a lubricant, sprayed it on everything, eventually learned to HATE IT. With a passion. The sticky residue was a bitch to clean off, gummed up everything. I barely touch the stuff now. The best use for it now is an impromptu flame thrower with your bic lighter in order to take out yellow jacket nests.
Has DMSO. My uncle taught me that in my utes.
I never found a use for wd-40. I like the PBblaster for just about everything, though.
I prefer Marvel Mystery Oil, especially if I’m trying to get a sunk engine going & dried out. Buy that stuff in 5gal buckets.
Um, did you mean to say silicone?
Yes I did, thanks Johno!
Silicone are fake
Sillicone implies the existence of seriouscone.
Most valauble essential oil is chloroform.

PB or Marvel is my go-to for seized equipment!
