    X2. In fact I believe one of the major ingredients of wd40 is fish oil.

    It was developed for aerospace uses to keep water out of sensitive areas...I keep a can in the shop, but it doesn't get that much use, since I have dozens of lubricants to choose from.

    I heard it was developed durring WWII to be a quick lube where you don't want heavy grease, like a machine gun on an Island in the Pacific, old history teacher gave me that tid bit of information. Could be wrong, who Knows? But he did say it was the 40th attemp though. Get's water out of a cap and rotor(WHATS THAT?) Only down fall I can see, and I love the stuff, it doesn't have staying power. Needs to re applied to any surface to work well.
