WD40 is absolutely a lubricant. The WD40 is not a lubricant thing just needs to die already. Of course it’s not the best lubricant for every job. In fact it’s probably not the best lubricant for any job, but it’s a good enough lubricant for many jobs. It’s also a penetrant and water displacer. Versatile products usually aren’t the absolute best choice for a given use case, but that doesn’t make versatility bad. |

> WD-40 is an American brand and the trademark name of a water-displacing spray
… and the definition of “water displacing spray” is “penetrating fluid”
It definitely is an oil, it definitely lubricates. But we normally name things by their primary purpose.
