Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 They put something in everything, don't they? At least the WD-40 I can consciously not buy. robin koloms <rkoloms wrote: do you think that the lubricants in your car are all made from petroluem byproducts?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 That is an urban myth. According to Wikipedia " There is a popular urban legend that the main ingredient in WD-40 is fish oil. Although it is unknown whether the formula contains fish oil, material safety data sheets for the product show that the main ingredient is Stoddard solvent, not fish oil.[4] WD-40, is however used by some sea fishermen as an added scent when fishing with bait. " Moreover, the main ingredients, from the material safety sheet, are: * 50% Stoddard solvent (mineral spirits, also commonly known as dry cleaning solvent), * 25% Liquified petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant, carbon dioxide is used now to reduce considerable flammability), * 15+% Mineral oil (light lubricating oil), and * 10-% Inert ingredients Jecca , Kadee M <abbey_road3012 wrote: > > I just read that the main ingredient in WD-40 is fish oil.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Petroleum isn't much more palatable. But, I remember hearing awhile back of a more benign alternative. Can't remember now what it was but if I run across it I will share it with the list. ~P Kadee M wrote: > > > I just read that the main ingredient in WD-40 is fish oil. I didn't know > that before.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 As an alternative to petroleum, you may wish to check out Amsoil synthetic lubricants for your car (see http://www.amsoil.com). The owner is a member of Co-op America and frequently posts on the Green Business email loop I'm in. I'm not exactly sure what's in his products, but I get the impression they are NOT petroleum based. As for the WD-40 alternative, check out Biokleen's Soy Blends Soy Lube (see http://www.bi-o-kleen.com/soyblends.htm).
