  It does have lubricating properties as it leaves an oily film. But, that film is thin and temporary which is why you shouldn’t use wd-40 as a lubricant.

    You can very well use it as a lubricant but only in situations where lubrication is required temporarily :)

  WD-40 Multi-Use Product protects metal from rust and corrosion, penetrates stuck parts, displaces moisture and lubricates almost anything.
