One easy rule of thumb is if you're looking to lubricate something WD40 is never the correct choice. It's not a lubricant, it's for cleaning/breaking shit loose.

The only thing worse than people using WD-40 instead of a better product, are the mental gymnastics performed by people pretending a product which is 35% oil and sold as a lubricant, actually isn't.

If you want to use it as a lubricant go ahead. Just be prepared to have to do it more often than you would with a more suitable product.
