This could turn in to an "oil thread" (or a "fuel thread") really fast.....
I don't use WD-40. IMO it's a marginal lubricant, an ok solvent, a good moisture displacer and a great penetrant. I don't keep it around because I don't want it getting on any of my guns (uh oh, a gun thread) as trace amounts can penetrate the primers of ammo and render them inert which for ammo is a bad thing.
I just use Motul cleaner and Motul lube - easy to use and I like the stuff. I could probably save $10 a year by just using WD-40 and my chain will probably last just as long. But I don't.
