WD40 is overrated, has very few legitimate uses it's ok as penetrating fluid and as a solvent. but completely $ucks as a lubricant. extremely bad for preventing rust

for around the house lubrication ATF in a needle-tipped squeeze bottle is the best

as for silicone sprays i avoid those. i got various silicone lubes from low-viscosity silicone oils (like condom lube) to medium like treadmill lube. to greases. i apply them w/ cotton swabs or similar

from what i understand, after reading the WD40 literature,
it was not designed primarily as a lubricant.
it was designed for loosening stuck joints and bolts, water displacement (for wet hi tension circuits!), cleaning of dirt, and other ingenious uses.

one can find these other ingenious useful uses for WD40 in google.

i once would spray WD40 onto my squeeking fan belt tension pulley.
it would initially work as an anti-squeek agent, but the squeek would return after 2 weeks or so.
truly, a lousy lubricant.
i had since made a more permanent solution: replacement of the idler assembly.

i also used WD40 on my bintilador bushings. it worked, but only for a couple of weeks.
i also tried singer sewing machine oil. it would also work, but only for a couple of weeks.
the more permanent solution to bintilador woes, is replacement of the entire bintilador, or the bushings/armature.

Regarding bentilador, I've experienced this too. Wd40 worked for few days then umusok. Next I used delo gold I have left, after a few days ayaw na umikot. What I saw my FIL do is disassemble the motor and use those dipahid na grease. But I don't think I have the mechanic skills to disassemble na motor. It would be easier to just buy a new fan.

it certainly is!
new bentiladors aren't very expensive, naman.
i do have several "spent bintiladors" in the bodega... waiting for the happy tinkerer.

If I may ask, from what place are you? I have another week long off from work.

Agree bro.

WD40 is overrated, has very few legitimate uses :

It might be a placebo effect, but an old timer recommended that to me because the "hinges" on my hands won't move the way it is. Of course I didn't believe him, but one day I lost my one and only Flanax. I tried it and it worked!!!

When I saw my neighbor the following week, he just smiled when I told him it worked. He added that kerosene also works wonder.

It's crazy but I can't explain why. [emoji3]

my father, a central luzon farmer at heart, regularly used kerosene (ga-as) to lubricate his legs and arms, after a bout of unwanted-ligo-sa-sudden-downpour or lusong-sa-baha. he also used it as prophylaxis, applying it before the lusong.

I use WD40 as a penetrant mainly to undo rusty bolts and screws. It's also a good tar remover in a pinch.

I have a Singer machine oil bottle for lubricating small moving parts. Quite frequently, I use it to restore sleeve-bearing computer fans back to health.

[ice15]

I use it to "clean" (specifically door locks), lubricate (car) door mechanisms/hinges and remove rusted bolts, nuts and screws

also very helpful when drilling thick metals

but nothing beats old fashioned grease.

as for the WD-40 Silicone, I'm using it on my window railings.

agree sir.. do not use WD40 as lube.. ok sya as penetrating fluid to loosen nuts and bolts.. pero as lube? lalo mag rust yung metal parts dyan..

nung nasa manufacturing ako, may isang matalinong technician dun na ginagamit yan wd40 as surface lube para sa pag move ng heavy die tool.. kaya pala kinakalawang yung mold press.. haha.. shungaers..

yes effective nga, pero yung mess na ginawa at rust na nag form..

sa window track with rubber, ok naman sakin ang spray as maintenance lang.. kasi yung medium silicone eh nag attract masyado ng dust.. yung spray type thin film lang iniiwan nyan sa rubber. minsan kasi after ng malakas na ulan eh maganit na yung window tracks

because it isnt a lubricant so it will suck as a lubricant.

they market it as a lubricant and people use it all the time as a lubricant, but end up dissolving the grease on bearings and bushings instead LOL

"misleading marketing."
"anything to make a buck."

but perhaps it got this sort-of reputation, because it loosened stuck bolts and joints.
folks then made the mistaken conclusion that it was a lubricant, "dahil pinadulas ng WD40 yung stuck-up bolts ko".
and so the legend grew.

[oj88]

Context and application is everything.

WD40 has grown to include countless other products. But in our case, I believe the thread was about the original "WD40 - Multi-Use Product".

WD40 is a lubricant... but only under specific use cases. Would you use gear oil in an engine? Gear oil is a lubricant. Engines need lubricant. Again, context and application.

At most, WD40 Multi-Use is a short-term lubricant, which is perfect for loosening up crusty hinges, tools, and such. Would you use motor oil to dislodge a stuck lug nut?

In electric fan application, WD40 can help loosen up the sleeve bearings if it's really dried up and stuck. This can prevent scouring the brass sleeves when disassembling the rotor. But it needs a more permanent lubrication designed for the particular interface during assembly.

I think it's unfair to vilify WD40 if you have misconceptions about its usage.

Right! I grew up with that idea not until I started working to learn that it is not a lubricant.

Agree, i also thought WD40 was a lubricant before. Kaya pala hindi tumatagal ang lubrication, mga a few weeks lang.
Ang galing kasi ng name recall.
Maganit or may kalawang- i-WD40 mo yan! Hehe

Exactly. I use it as degreaser sa bike chain. Ginamit ko din siya pang-alis ng adhesive ng polarizer film ng LEV TV.
