    1/4 to 1/3 of WD-40 is a petroleum base oil, and they make claims about its lubricating properties on their website and marketing material today.

      Yeah but it’s not a proper lubricant and you shouldn’t use it as one. It’s a swiss-army knife: great in a pinch for a number of things but you wouldn’t want it to replace your whole tool box.
