For all that matters the main ingredient in WD 40 is apparently Fish Oil. Make of it what you may.

Myth:WD-40® contains fish oil.

Fact: Consumers have told us over the years that they have caught some of the biggest fish ever after protecting their fish hooks and lures with WD-40®. We believe this legend came from folks assuming that the product must contain fish oil since it appears to attract fish. Sorry Charlie®, it just ain’t so. came from folks assuming the product must contain fish oil since it appears to attract fish. Sorry Charlie®, it just ain’t so.

Some "facts" are zombies, no matter how often they're disproved, the rise again and lurch onwards looking for new victims.

Must say over the years I have found that it's not much good for locks, Seems great at first but then the insides seem to fall apart, My mk1 fiesta was using more of this stuff than petrol in the damp mornings,

Its absolutely fine for cleaning and dispersing moisture from locks, (unless they contain plastic parts or seals which may be adversely affected).

However, after cleaning and drying, they need to be lubricated with a suitable lubricant.

Yes that's what I've been doing lately, The bike ignition locks and petrol cap can be quite vulnerable also the padlocks on the garage, The worst obesity can be the disc locks as they can be a bit tricky to remove if stuck,
