I'll tell you what WD-40 is good for. I recently had to have Energy Savers come in to service my propane stove. I could not get the pilot lit with the clicker (pise something) or to stay on when I lit it with a match. I thought it was the burner unit or at least the thermocouple and clicker. Dale from ES came in and sprayed my burner with WD-40. It was clogged from rust. Used the WD-40 tube to spray into the burner holes. Worked great. Only smelled for short time after.

Kudos to Dale and Energy Savers who could have easily told me it was the burner unit and got a lot more cash for their trouble, I wouldn't have know any better.
