Rumor has it that Fred Cisin may have mentioned these words:
REAL mechanics may or may not know anything about any
of the
other characteristics of lubricants, but they do, at least,
know that there that there are many different viscousities
of lubricants, and that you need to use one of appropriate
"thickness".
It's a drag to repair damage done by amateurs, putting
WD40 on things that actually needed a heavy grease.
Viscosity is also a large factor on environment. WD40 works great on my
door hinges in my house, but I use heavy grease on automotive door hinges...
Just IMHO,
