Agree fundamentally WD-40 is a cleaner, but it does offer some lubricant outcomes.

Yep, there are lubricants listed in the ingredients, but the stuff it actually leaves behind when the volatiles are gone is mostly good at displacing water (as the article points out.) Very little in the way of friction reduction.

It also makes a superb bug killer, especially in combination with a barbecue lighter.
