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

Is it okay to use WD40 to lubricate things? Thoughts ?

  • 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

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