wd40 is not a lubricant.

It literally says it is a lubricant on the can but you can’t find a thread on the Internet about it without someone saying that. It is a lubricant, just not a very good one for most situations.

  • I can't believe you're being downvoted for that comment, that's legit insanity.

    • I’m not surprised. If your hobbies include things that take you to the DIY corners of Reddit you are exposed daily to the “WD-40 is not a lubricant” morons who cannot be swayed by either reading the can or Googling.

      “WD-40 is not a very good lubricant and you should almost always use something else” is a mouthful I guess, but their denial of reality over something so meaningless is always astounding to me.

Repeating bullshit many times doesn't make it true.

It is a mixture of a lubricant and a solvent. And once the solvent evaporates, only the lubricant remains.
