Almost every Canadian has a spray can of WD-40 in the garage, but that’s about to change.

You use it to fix just about anything that needs a little lubrication, squeaky hinges, rusty bolts and even your bike chain.

Update: Thanks to @Sbhinclusion for sharing this press release from WD-40, which states that they will become compliant with th new regulation.

    Lol gotta love that even Harbor Freight even calls WD-40 a lubricant. It’s not a lubricant, it’s a penetrating oil and really a degreaser. If it’s something that needs lubrication you should absolutely use an actual lubricant after using WD-40, E.G. bike chains, door hinges, etc.

      Penetrating oil is a lubricant.

      It’s not the kind of lubricant you would want to lubricate your bike chain before a ride with, but there is nothing about lubricant that implies it must be suitable for bike chains.
