Wikipedia says a lot of things. Many of them are wrong.
Ask anyone who works professionally with machines and they'll tell you WD-40 is a temporary lubricant at best.
- stcredzero 3y agoSurely, there is some context where WD-40 is just fine. I do note that lubrication is actually complex. Soap feels plenty slick in general, but if I try to shave with it, certain soaps give very poor results. So, of course, not everything slick and oily is going to work for lubricating machines. But when I rub soap on wood screws, it works just fine in that context!
