WD-40

Does anyone have any evidence.....that the WD-40 formula has changed within the past 10 years?

"SAN DIEGO ”“ At age 50, WD-40 is getting a makeover.

The formula of the legendary lubricant has not changed, but it's easier to use, thanks to the introduction of a new, limited edition contoured can."

It still smells and works the same as far as I can tell. I'd bet the aerosol propellent has changed.

WD-40 is great for hinges,but on firearms-not mine!It leaves a fine varnish with repeat applications.The film becomes a gummy action wrecking mess. :hmm:

It's a great solvent. I've used it for 40+ years with great results. It removes rust and stops it. It removes and softens hardened grease. It isn't a lubricant.

Don't it displace moisture too? I've changed from WD40 to Kroil.

Yep, best stuff in the world for getting a car started that has a wet electrical system.

I read somewhere that it is now a rust preventative, which it previously wasn't. I'd like to see this confirmed.

I've used the stuff back in the 70's as a rust preservative in Hawaii. Humidity, salt, all that stuff. Worked fine then.

They did change the propellant in the spray cans! It use to be propane or something simular, now it won't start an engine, or so they tell me! :hmm:

And it's a lot easier on motor parts then starter fluid to get a engine started,, I used it on my big rig, A friend was a diesel mechanic and would jump ALL over me if I used started fluid,
Works on car engines and lawn mowers

WD40 = Water Displacing Formula 40. Thanks to the space program, where it was developed.
