WD-40 Multi-Purpose Lubricant Penetrating Oil is a versatile maintenance spray designed to loosen seized parts and provide light lubrication across a wide range of applications on metal surfaces.
• It penetrates stuck, rusted, or corroded parts by creeping into tight threads, seams, and crevices to help free frozen nuts, bolts, hinges, locks, and other fasteners.
• Its formulation lubricates moving parts and helps reduce friction and wear on mechanisms.
• It also protects metal from rust and corrosion by leaving a thin, moisture-displacing film.
• Drives out moisture that can cause oxidation or electrical issues in damp conditions.
• Useful for cleaning and loosening mechanisms by removing grime, adhesive residue, and build-up from tools, equipment, and surfaces.
Key Functional Benefits
✔ Penetration & Release – loosens rusted or stuck components.
✔ Light Lubrication – provides temporary lubrication where heavier oils or greases aren’t suitable.
✔ Corrosion Protection – forms a protective barrier that helps delay rust formation.
✔ Moisture Displacement – quickly drives out water from metal surfaces and electrical parts.
✔ Multipurpose Use – excellent all-around spray for workshop, automotive, home, and industrial tasks.
Typical Uses
• Freeing rusted nuts & bolts
• Lubricating hinges, chains, and sliding mechanisms
• Preventing corrosion on tools and outdoor equipment
• Displacing moisture from damp metal surfaces
• Assisting with cleaning grease and grime on mechanical parts
This product is often referred to as a penetrating oil because it’s formulated to seep into tight spaces and loosen metal-to-metal bonds, while also performing general-purpose lubrication and protection.
