Another very good reason NOT to use WD40 is that if it should get into an area such as a springers piston chamber, it has the potential to EXPLODE or Diesel as it is also known when the vapor is put under high pressure.
The same mistake is sometimes by people have used it for the maintenance of their model aircraft engines. A few fingers lost as a result!
