- This is a total red herring. WD-40 is compounded of highly-volatile petroleum distillates. Incorporating DMSO would do nothing for its intended uses. Besides, if WD-40 had DMSO in it, how many jillio

- The key word is "highly-volatile". That means that it is GONE in a matter of days and any lubricating properties with it. WD-40 is good for loosening stuck hardware and other such temporary lubricati
