4. Locks. The spray can prematurely wear down the internal mechanisms, especially in the pin tumbler locks, in door locks and padlocks. Go for graphite powder.

4. Unstick gum. A squirt makes it easier to pull gum out of carpet and even hair. It's better than cutting out the gum and leaving patchy carpet or a bad haircut. more
1. Door hinges. Sure, WD-40 will stop the squeaking, but it also attracts dust and dirt. Over time, you'll end up with ugly black streaks on your hinges. [links]
3. Paintball guns. WD-40 can melt the seals in the guns.
6. Free stuck LEGOs. Your kids will thank you. here
2. Bike chains. WD-40 can cause dirt and dust to stick to a chain. Use bike-specific lubricants , which typically contain Teflon.
The car actually started and drove! But their celebration was premature when they smelt smoke after 5 miles of driving. They had to stop because the smoke was now blocking the windshield.
They wanted to try and start an engine with just WD-40. Surely it would work, right? That’s at least what they thought. Here’s what happened. more
This is something that should not be tried at home! Even if it does vaguely say “engines” on the can. [links]
They actually put a lot of thought into this. They drained the car of all of its engine oil and proceeded to fill it up with WD-40 that they got from Home Depot.
WD-40 can fix a lot of things, right? Well, some wise kids decided to see if it really could fix everything. They got the WD-40 and what they wanted to fix, they just had to try it. here
But no one expected the next event. The entire engine caught flames in a spectacular fireball! The teens knew the truth now, but did they run? No! They excitedly filmed the fire and posted it online. Teens will always be teens, after all.
Once they had completely filled it up with WD-40, it was time for them to make some predictions. One of them said, “I think it’s gonna run fine.” Another said, “We’ve got five minutes before it blows.”
As the close knit friends got themselves excited for the upcoming endeavor, they realized it wouldn’t be enough for just them to enjoy it. They decided to invite a few friends to partake in the festivities, and they couldn’t wait to fill them in once they got there. more
They all had incredulous looks on their faces, purely from the anticipation of it all. For a while, nothing really changed. And that’s when things took a pretty crazy turn… more
Now, we’ve seen plenty of videos where people drain the engine of oil and let it bounce off the rev-limiter until something lets go. Well, apparently so has Orion Dajnowicz, of Haggard Garage – and now “Life OD” – fame. So, instead of pulling that tired old stunt, he decided to see what would happen if he replaced the oil in his 1993 Ford Probe with WD-40.
Orion and crew do in fact drain all of the oil in the Mazda FS-DE 16-valve, DOHC engine, and refill it with what appears to be a full gallon of WD-40, which is half a quart more than the FS-DE’s standard capacity, and then proceed to start the engine. more
After idling for a few minutes with no obscene noises, the trio jumps into the Probe and drives it to an empty field. Early on in the drive, the car doesn’t make any scary engine noises traditionally found with a lack of lubrication and there are no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard. It appears as if the engine might make it. more
