Well..I'm fine with the no oil stance.

But a couple comments:

1) Hating WD-40 is a national past time of epic proportions. I wish I had a nickel for every chemist/engineer/machinist/genius who can tell you exactly why WD-40 is nothing short of the Devil's own lubricant. It's probably not the best at anything...but it has some good uses.

2) My Addams Family manual says that oil should be used.

About 15 years ago, "Robert" was in his late 70's. He grew up in coal country, and spent many an hour digging coal out of veins as a young man. His lungs were predictably in bad shape, and he had a variety of related health issues.

Anyhow, Robert, amongst his many interesting stories* and anecdotes, would swear that the best thing for the chest pains he had was to buy WD-40 (in the liquid gallon-can form) and rub it into his chest. I once asked him if he was having the rubbing done by a topless 22 year old girl - but he insisted he was not and that it was the oil that did the trick. So there.

*The horse in the coal mine was another story but you probably don't wanna hear that one.....
