WD 40 on Glide outs, Jacks, & Landing Gear ?

Not a lubricant, but is a water displacing spray as the name implies. Lots of folks misinterpret the WD-40 as a lubricant. Should try silicone or a real light lube oil. Will work much better. JMHO

No.

When my can of WD40 ran out I didn't replace it.
Most often use Silicone spray or white Lithium grease.

you'd be better served to use a dry lube that will not hold dirt and grit .... WD40 makes a dry silicon spray that works pretty well

I use a PTFE dry lube spray from Home Depot.

use something else. WD40 attracts dirt too much

I use a PTFE (Teflon) spray under the label of Tri-Flow. I get it at Ace Hardware.

What kind of jacks? If they're hydraulic, I wouldn't put any kind of lubricant on the piston rods when extended. There's a risk of contaminating the system's hydraulc oil when they next retract.

Kwikee said to sparingly wipe the leveler jacks with the transmission fluid used as hydraulic fluid - Dextron ?
