If I remember my mechanic's advice correctly, you have to be careful what solvents you use. You might dilute/prevent lubricants from actually staying inside the chain links with WD40. Put differently: the solvent you use should be paired with the lubricant to ensure you get the best effect from both. Almost universally, the recommendation was not to use WD40 because it's just not good. I may be talking "old wives tales" here though so I'd like an actual mechanic to correct me please.
