      Yeah you're absolutely right! WD-40 is not meant for that purpose! Or else we fill our differentials with it, wouldn't we?
      It's like me comparing some super synthetic silicone lube to WD-40, gee I wonder which one will work better?
      I would much prefer seeing WD-40 Specialty Products compared to this one.
      Because they make silicone, graphite and white lithium products.
      Regular WD-40 is first of all a water displacer, a penetrator, and a cleaner. It is most definitely not bearing surface lubricant or gear lubricant.
      As far as that other product, if you plan on spraying it in your mouth, I guess it would be important that it's all natural, I guess, so that's cool, I suppose...

    While WD-40 is often used as a lubricant, it's actually a water-displacing spray and penetrating oil. It's primarily designed to loosen rusted parts, displace moisture, and clean surfaces. While it can provide some lubrication properties, it's not specifically formulated as a long-lasting lubricant. It's best suited for tasks like loosening stuck parts rather than long-term lubrication. For sustained lubrication, it's better to use a dedicated lubricant formulated for that purpose.

      exactly because comparing a real lubricant vs his plant based one wouldn’t do really much difference. So he picked WD that’s never used to keep something lubricate (simple oil would do a better job a long last lubrification because it stick to the part) whereas wd can lubricate anything as their site claim but the time to unlock a stuck, rusty screw. It’s a lubricant to break the stuck part and quick use. So really most dishonest ads possible. That would be the same as trying to unlock a rusty screw with his plant based lubricant.

    Brand X, isn’t truly a lubricant, it’s a water displacement solvent. A true lubricant, leaves a film, between the wear surfaces. The viscosity of the film producing ingredients, is what defines the pressure, that the lubricant can sustain. Brand X, has very little viscosity and therefore, it’s not a real lubricant. Plant based lubricants, have come a long way, but because they are typically organic, there are many places that they can’t compete with oil based ones, but again, they’ve come a long way.

    As a wind turbine technician, I’d love to see a shift to plant based lubricants, but unless cost and durability are the same it’ll never happen. Roughly 25kg of “organic” grease gets put into the bearings of the turbines I work on annually. Most sites contain 20-200 turbines. The old grease gets cleaned up and tossed into a special dumpster to be discarded, probably incinerated. Having plant based lubricants in turbines would mean less risk of water or soil contamination. If it could replace gear oil and hydraulic fluid too, turbines could be so close to being completely green energy.

    WD-40 is not intended as a dedicated lubricant. It has lube in it BUT it's a smaller portion of lube dissolved in a solvent, so it's predominantly solvent. That's why it makes a mediocre-ish lube but such a fantastic cleaner and somewhat penetrator. The WD-40 mix is designed exactly for what it's supposed to do. Push water away, breakdown/penetrate, and help get things moving again.
    Using it as a dedicated lube is user error from the start as the heavy solvent amount in the mix is a horrible lubricant and is why it locks up and damages stuff if used as such like in this display. Imagine using Acetone or paint thinner as a lube. A halfass description of WD-40 is if you had Acetone that has been diluted with oil. There's a reason WD has other mixes like lithium grease and oil blends that are designed as dedicated lubricants and are FAR better and fairer comparisons than this apples and oranges display here.

    WD-40 is not a lubricant, the letters stands for Water Displacement.

    tha'ts why they sell an actual WD-40 branded lubricants and greases, WD-40 original is more for freeing seized nuts & displacing water/micro-debris, over-time it acts as more of a barrier coating than a lubricant. if anything its good at keeping contact surfaces clean and dirt-free for better friction if used moderately and the excess removed

    Хочу отметить,что WD-40 скорее растворитель чем смазка
