WD-40 stands for "water displacing". The "40" is the 40th formulation that was tried during its development. Fun fact - WD-40 was never patented so the formulation did not have to be published and thus their competitors could not copy them and sell a knock off product.

I work in a chemical plant. The main thing about it is a constant flow of water. There is water in pipes, water on pipes, water on the ground, water in the ground, water in the air, water frozen into literally tons of ice every day, and even water here you don't want it. Chemicals don't need a lot of water probably, but the people who work around them need lots and lots of flushing and flow in order to dillute and minimize the hazards inherent to the various other fluids. As a result, everything made of steel is rusted. Stainless won't hold up to some stuff and is too expensive to other stuff, so that's limited too. We use a product called Knocker Loose, and it blasts down into the rust and onto the metal beneath, saving countless hours and knuckles. It's not infallible, but it's pretty great.

I don't subscribe very often, but I subscribed to you a long time ago. I am not an auto mechanic, but I have been working on automotive for almost 50 years. I enjoy it when you teach me something that I didn't know or confirm something I did. This time I have something for you. By trade I am a Journeyman Wireman IBEW, a Certified Safe Technician, and a Certified Professional Locksmith. You showed to use WD-40 in an automotive lock. Where you are, it is not a bad idea. I live in Phoenix, Arizona, a hot dry dusty desert. WD-40 has an oil base that collects dust and drys to a sticky laquery film. I will use WD-40 as a cheap cleaning solvent, but then rinse it out with a greaseless lubricant like LPS1, or dry graphite, depending on what the application is. Some automotive locks use a light grease. Thanks for all the videos, have a Happy New Year, and keep your engine reved.

Changed Spark plugs and wires, car ran better but check engine light stayed on and I kept getting P02196,P0172 and P0174 Error codes-rich and lean. Changed all four O2 Sensors. MAF, EGR, reset ECU, Air filter, fuel filter, Oil and oil filter after a motor flush, fuel pressure regulator and cleaned PCV valve. Also put Sea Foam in gas tank. Car runs 100% better but still has a hard idle, check engine light with codes P02196, 172&174? So I'm thinking a vacuum leak somewhere? Can't wait to try the WD40! Thank you!!!

Love the vid! The reason you would not want to use WD-40 in door locks is that once it has dried, it leaves a residue that tends to gum up the locks' cylinder pins, causing dust to and dirt to accumulate. Far better to use either powdered graphite or dry silicone spray. One time as an experiment, I sprayed a section of steel plate with a generous amount WD and let it set for a week. When I came back to it, it had mostly dried but was still tacky with dust clinging to it. After a month it was fully dried and indeed was doing a good job of protecting the metal. However, it took a rag soaked with lacquer thinner and some vigorous scrubbing to remove it. I found that while not quite as good as battery terminal spray, WD makes a nice substitute.

I use WD40 to start my lawn mower in the spring. Remove plug, spray WD40 into cylinder, replace plug and starts first pull. By the way we used WD40 as Starting Fluid at the railroad. Safer then Starting Fluid (ether). And yes Scotty WD40 is flammable.

ME: Can I spray WD40 into car wiring harness? ChatGPT: No, it is not recommended to spray WD40 into a car wiring harness. WD40 is a type of lubricant and while it can be useful for some automotive applications, it is not designed for use in electrical systems. WD40 is primarily made up of petroleum-based solvents and oils, which can attract dust and dirt and create a buildup that can interfere with the proper functioning of electrical components. Additionally, the lubricant can potentially cause damage to the insulation on the wires, which could lead to electrical shorts or other problems.

I had to get a new ignition cylinder installed and I asked the lockmith about what to use on locks... He said to use WD40 and only WD40, especially on my Honda. He said that other products can dry out and cake up over time can cause issues down the road. Been using it since and have had no issues...

Best thing to spray under your car to stop corrosion is Lanolin spray, comes from sheep here in Australia and sticks and lubricates but does not perish rubber. My Uncle was a Shearer and had the softest hands in the world because of the lanolin in the wool.

I enjoy watching and learning from someone with experience and your videos are no exception, however I do have an issue with suggesting people spray WD-40 on rubber parts, suspension or otherwise. Rubber and lubricants are not compatible unless the lubricant is silicone. I keep silicone spray around for specifically spraying on rubber components. Not only am I not a fan of WD-40 I as well as a lot of mechanics I know have a preference to ZEP 45 for rusted and corroded components!

Had an 86 Toyota Camry that didn't need the ignition lock lubricated. First, because half the Toyota keys in existance would work in my car (including the key for my wife's 88 Camry.) Second, the lock was so loose that several times the key fell out on it's own. The first time that happened when I was driving, was a real 'pucker' moment. Didn't know if they steering lock was going to kick in or what. (It didn't. ) Had to pull over to find the key on the floor and re-insert it. Didn't have to worry about vacuum leaks on our 77 Buick Skylark either. Whenever the vacuum operated AC ducts stopped working (wouldn't switch from floor to dash to wind shield) I just replaced ALL of the vacuum hoses. No sense trying to track down the one that was leaking today, because another one would start leaking tomorrow. After a couple of changes, I just bought a big spool of the right size of rubber hose. Could change out all of them in 10 minutes. Never could fix the vapor lock problem though (temps above 90 f meant you could only drive for 30 minutes.) Yeah, WD-40 and duct tape will temporarily fix just about anything.
